Can't install Raidar
I have just upgraded my computer and bought a new one running Windows 7 professional 64 bit operating system. I have tried to download and install raidar but everytime I do I get a small white error ...
First of all, Raidar is the program that runs on your PC not the NAS. It searches your network to find any ReadyNAS, and then displays it's status and information. It is also used to access RAIDiator via Frontview which sets up the configuration of the unit.
You commented that when you tried to download and install you get a small white error box with a red x in it and no text. But then you say that once you have downloaded the software and start the installation process it happens pretty much straight away. So, I am confused. Did it download and were you able to install it or not?
FWIW - I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit and have had no problems installing Raidar on 5 different machines (3 currently as one laptop died and one desktop has been rehomed and a new one built).
You say you have access to the shares but cannot write to the NAS. What error message are you getting? Since you have had that unit a while, you have had access before, were the drives mapped or did you access it with the network address?
