Recovery SD for Terastation WSS server WS5200DN0402W2

[kramaswamy_mdusa]

I recently acquired a Terastation WSS server model WS5200DN0402W2, with no drives.  After working on getting it for a few hours I finally realized this to be Windows based unit. 

Since I do not have the original drives or the recovery SD and I am unable to locate it on the Buffalo support site, I am posting this request to check if anyone may be able to guide me to where I could download a copy.

Based on Andrei's post (https://forums.buffalotech.com/index.php?topic=45593.msg122405#msg122405) it appears that WS 2025 worked on his machine, I will likely try to check this option out.  Would of course be much obliged if someone could direct me to an archive where I can download the original SD from.

Thanks.

Further to my last post, I was able to confirm with BuffaloTech support that the following Windows products are compatible with this File Server model subject to availability of drivers for the NIC and Intel Atom Processor etc.

Terastation WSS server model WS5200DN0402W2
Supported Operating Systems:
Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7 Vista, XP, 2000
Windows Server 2016, 2012R2, 2012, 2008R2, 2008, 2003, 2000 Server

Further, if the Windows license sticker is still on the machine (usually found over the front face plate), they may be able to help with getting a copy of the recovery image from Microsoft.

I was also able to install Debian 11.11.0 "Bullseye" version successfully and configure the box as a Linux based file server.

There's also custom Debian installer available that sets up some additional tools related to controlling the LCD/Buttons/Fans and allows a headless install over SSH:
