1x00 FAQ

1. What is the largest drive I can Install in my Snap 1x00?
Most will handle HD's > 137 gig. with OS v3.4.805+ (Supports LBA48Bit)
2. My HD has failed. How do I replace it?
A. The 1000v1 has the OS stored in flash ram, just install the hd. It takes about 10 min before you can connect to the web interface.
B. If you have a 1000v2 or 1100 you must transfer the boot tracks from a working unit or by the use of image files. There are 2 different image files used to recover from a failed drive in the 1x00's.
C. The 1000's normally use a 1000 image file, but if you get a 1 x 2 LED blinking pattern it requires the 2200.img file.
D. The 1000v2 & 1100 requires an image file to be copied to the new drive. (Normally the 2200 image file)
Note: You need to reinstall the OS after doing an image file recovery to replace any missing OS files

That you have to get on your own. I would start with the torrents. Some have bought used working ones to get theirs going and sold one to recoup the cost.

You can not do a complete cop of the HD when you change size. You must backup the data, use Knoppix or the DD live cd and copy the boot tracks.
