I am trying to access an old SC101 from any of the following pc's, Window 10, Mac, or Virtual windows XP but not having any success. Questions 1. Is there any way of logging in or accessing other t...

Finally sorted, downloaded a virtual WinXP 32Bit to VirtualBox. In VirtualBox set up bridged network card to see my own network and then a Virtual shared drive. Loaded the SCM utility onto windows. Managed to transfer all my old data accross.
Thanks for all suggestions.

It is very old now but was working correctly when last used. Pings OK.
I have tried the SCM 3 0 6 US Version but this will not work on 64 bit windows.
I was thinking of install a 32 bit windows virtual machine but then you run into issues with it been on another network.
Do you know if there is any way to FTP into it or any other client software.

Is the drive not showing under explorer? Do you have any LED indicators lit? any error message? If it is not accessible we may need to use SCM to set it up again.
Not really sure if there are still users of SCM, hopefully they can share steps to do.

I suggest moving this thread to https://community.netgear.com/t5/Stora-Legacy/bd-p/stora
StorageCentral : One aspect here is that Netgear ended the Stora cloud service in April 2020. https://kb.netgear.com/000061310/Announcement-Stora-cloud-service-is-ending-April-1-2020

SC101 or Storage Central Manager does not connect to Stora service to access its data, using SCM Utility will setup a Network drive to be accessed by the user. Storage Central is a SAN,
It seems that the SC101 you have may need to be setup again but since SCM cannot be installed on your 64-bit PC you may have to try using 32-bit but it shoud install. Support have ended since it is EOL so we may not be able to expect any updates on the installer and firmware
You need to have it setup as a Network drive, have you tried accessing it on explorer using its IP address?

One option would be to use a virtual machine runnig a 32-bit version or Windows. You can get a completely legit one from Microsoft that expires in 90 days: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/
