How can I get an older version of raidiator?
Hello.
I was wondering where I can download an older version of raidiator? My unit came with 2.00c1-P5 but I upgraded to the newest one which messed up my machine. I am looking to maybe downgrade to see if I can get it working again.
Is there an archive download section to the raidiator firmware?
thanks.

This should work fine on your unit. After doing a factory default on that you can update to the latest firmware if you like. - armornoneAspirant

My unit originally came with I think raidiator version 2.00c1-P5. My system I think only has a 64MB Compact flash card for its firmware and when I connected it to my computer, it only showed up as having 55MB of space available. I believe that raidiator 4 is over 61MB which could explain why my system is having issues with the update.
Is there anyway to get a version 2 of the raidiator software?
Thanks for your help. - mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee RetiredRAIDiator 4.1.4 is over 55MB in size but should still fit on your 64MB CF card (e.g. using Rawrite or NTRawrite depending on the version of Windows, or dd in Mac/Linux) unless it has a lot of bad sectors.
Do you have a spare CF card (or are you able to buy a CF card) greater than 64MB in size (e.g. a 128MB one)? If you do, write 4.1.4 to that and you should definitely be good to go.
There is a RAIDiator 2.x firmware that you can downgrade to however there will be limited to no support if you do. RAIDiator 2 is several years old firmware and won't work well at all with client machines running new OSes e.g. Windows 7, recent versions of Mac OS X etc.
Edit: wrong about RAIDiator 4.1.4 size (edited post above), but it should work if you can find a CF card larger than 64MB in size.
