Sigh: New Bad ReadyNAS

Have the Seagates been used in any device previously?

The 320Gs, yes. I created new partition tables before using them, however. I sort of managed to get a 1T seagate going (see below)

Once it is finished, you should be able to install one of the new WD drives and let it boot. If you get the error message again, try a Factory Default. Factory Default To perform an OS Re-install or Factory Default, this is managed via the Reset button on the back of the chassis.

Thanks for all the feed back.

Why do they release "problematic" updates? To make our miserable lives even more miserable? I digress...

I managed to get it to recognise a single 1T Seagate. The LED panel reports the size correctly. Unfortunately the Frontview (and Windows) says "0% of 0MB available" <sigh>

I am now unable to do a factory reset at all. The reset gets to a point where the LED window displays "IP:192.168.125.033", which is not my network. It then hangs there until my wrist can't hang on any more to the paper clip :)

Anyway, I'll play with it today but I sense I'm just wasting too much time on it. It'll probably need to be returned.
