Problem with ST2000DL003 after upgrading NV+
Hi folks, I'm a little bit pissed, because last time, upgrading from 2x750GB to 4x1TB WD Green Drives failed. And Netgear kicked out theses drives from the comp.list and denied support afterwards!!...

yes ext3. I did a factory reset after installing the latest Raidiator version.

this is great to know!

You might also wish to check in the SMART stats for your drives that you have the latest firmware installed on them.
latest firmware is already installed "cc32". I read about some problems with older versions. thats why i decidced to uprade one year after releasing such drives.

I cant see these drives within my drive-managment in WinXP. I guess it has something to do with GPT (EE) Partitions. I'm not able to handle with with my old Hard- and Software. Seatools sees s***.
