Unresponsive ultra 2 plus
This morning my U2P was not 'visible'. ping does not work - destination host unreachable. Power button would not shut down the box and no access to Frontview. I rebooted with 5 second power off t...
Both my disks seem OK, so I now have to try to work out it it's the Seagate disks causing the problem or the unit itself. I see a couple of options
1. Try each individual drive alone in the NAS
2. Put a brand new drive in the unit and see if I can boot
Can I do (1) just by powering on the unit with one disk at a time in it without affecting any oif the data on the disks?
I want to be absolutely sure I will not damage the disks in any way as I can still see the data using R-Studio
If I do (2) will any of my settings remain or are they all part of the data on the original disks?
I gather I'll need to factory reset the box. If I do so, will I be able to try putting my original disks back in again?
Help greatly appreciated
