Hope somebody can help... (anybody!)
I've just aquired a Quantum Snap Server 2200. It didn't come with a power supply so that's the first thing on my todo list tomorrow. The more worrying thing is that, on internal inspection, there only seems to be one 80Gb hard drive. The other 80Gb hard drive has obviously been removed.
I do have a copy of the latest SnapOS, but, after reading and searching on the forums here, it seems it's not as simple as buying two identical hard drives (probably 250Gb drives) installing them and then loading the SnapOS. It appears that there were some *files that were needed off the original disks to get the Snap Server up and running, and without these the upgrade cannot be carried out.
If anybody reading this has ANY ideas on how I can carry out this upgrade with only one of the original hard drives (which may be defective!) then please post any information you can help with.
Many thanks for any feedback with this.
Ron.
