Default 1000 with a 2nd drive

No reply? I hope I didn't offend

I've been through this thread more than once now.

Is it what Matt suggested (see below) that is risky / caused the bios flag error blue68f100 finally recovered from?

1. Make sure you have the latest snapOS on it (3.4.803)
- its the same version on all of the < 4500s (bonus)

2. Go into debug mode

3. bios unlock (this enables perm changes to the bios)

4. bios model 0 (this make it think you now own a 2000.....)

5. bios lock (just to be sure etc)

Done.... go to the disk utilties section.... and bing there you go.... you should now have the 'Configure Disks' option as of course, you now infact have a snap 2000 - which comes standard with two disks ;-) Enjoy!
