      How should I fix for this problem ?


      If the USB drive is in a format that Windows supports, then try ejecting the USB drive.  Connect it to a Windows PC, and if it offers to "repair" it, then let it.  

       

      Not sure how this would be done on a Mac.

        Only the operation disconnecting external backup-drive from 104 main menu can not 

        disconnect normally. The access lamp of external back-drive HDCX-UTL(i-o data)

         remains green, it is still connected.

        The following is the fix procedure.

        1) Connect external drive (USB HDD) to PC.

        2) Disconnect external drive by normal PC operation.

            ---> recognizes disconnecting is normally.

        3) Connect to external drive to NAS 104.
