Snap Server 2200 With No Drives - I Love You Forever Adaptec Xoxoxoxox
 
Dear God.

What a horrid way to support a product.

Removal of all actual utilities and software to get the thing working.

I just wasted 4 hours of my life trying to get a snap 2200 to work.

It took me 1 hour to find the dam assist util. I had to get it from dells FTP site. Yeh its their. Maby you should sue them. Let em know that when you sell them a product that users cant actually fix it. Only if I would have found a dell power vault. Only if I owned adaptec would their profits sore.

Now that I have this utility I don't know if its compatible because I do not have a way to get this thing working without THE SNAP OS INSTALLED ON THE DRIVE. WHO THE HELL WOULD DO THIS?!?!!

WHY I preyed to god. You know what happend. I found this site. See people had to create a site around your products because you cant support them. Its like selling a weapon without the manual.

Why on earth would you ever install the OPERATING OS of a NAS on the units hard disk. WHAT HAPPENS IF THE HARD DRIVE FAILS? (their should be an adaptec labeled cat here...we need a picture...someone) You must not care about your customers or the respect of our hacker world. Just remember who decides what most companies buy. Hackers (The meaning of what a hacker is: not that cracking bullshit (though assembly is respected by me) or even breaking into your systems to steal the software i need to get this done. The meaning in which HACKERS like us have to use when working with your service oriented garbage). HOURS AND HOURS OF TIME WASTED. My life is now that much worthless. I feel like killing myself because of all the time I wasted on this shit. Remember when your company is failing and im their to give you a swift kick in the ass for wasting my time with lame ass product registrations and endless loops of stating things like: "download here" when really you keep no form of software or information that will help me out. THANKS ADAPTEC.

Would it not be great if I could actually get your product and use it? I mean really just throw another hard drive in and just use it?

No some moron in your company decided that it wasnt good enough. Our products should not be that easy to use. They decided that in the long run the service contracts the company generates are far more valuable then the actual products you sell. 199!?!?!?!?!?!? AN HOUR FOR SUPPORT? I dont even pay britney spears that much an hour to give me oral. Its like half that.

How difficult would it be to put a little flash chip in your product with an OS on it? It wouldnt. Hell. Ill do it for yeh. Im sure that I could find some 10 year old electronics hacker that knows how to mod his xbox to just throw one in for you.

What a waste of time.
It not like im going to live forever or anything.
Hell I may die tomorrow and still never get to experience the ass raping I experienced when registering for your website. Then the repetitivegey ness when I found out that you guys do not actually support your utility. Only my money does. Well Im out of it. So this is what I need:

I need this site to help me get my snap 2200 working.

It does not have any hard drives in it.

I need someone to get me the disk image? Right?

I have the sup34790 but its only a SUP.

Email me. WebDawg <you know what goes here> gmail.comonnow

You dont have to post it on this site. Hell. Put it on that rapidsuck bullshit. Anything. Print the 1's and 0's out. Ill type it in manually. Whatever. You could mail it to me. Fax it to me. Two cups and some string. It may take a while to find that much string but I think I can mange. If adaptec wants to come and cut my string let em. Least Ill have some more storage space to save anti adaptec hate letters and rants. I have over 100gb taking up my drive now. Only if I have somewhere to store them.

Help Me.

Put it on thepiratebay. They seem to have thier copywrite infringment assess together.

But really.

Please help me. I need it. I know you can tell because if you got this far reading this then it means...well who knows what it means.

I wont even tell adaptec. They wont have to know. We can just act like nothing happend.

Yes I will call support and try and get the free shit but then again. That wont help me cause I dont have the original drives. Good Shit.

Adaptec: This rant really isnt real. I dont actually want the software. Its a joke. My snap server is working fine. No one is actually going to send me any form of software. And they know that. And I know that.

David,

I'm not sure, I could be way off base here, but I have a strong suspicion, more like a sixth sense thing, that WebDawg might be a litle bit upset? :rolleyes:

WebDawg,

Get in line. You are a very long ways from the first person to come here and be a little upset with Adaptec Support.

I feel for you, I really do, but there are a couple problems. #1, I have never had a 2200, so I do not have an image. #2, and you already knew this one, the OS is copyright and thus canot be freely distributed by this forum. (expect to hear this from the admins, soon I bet)

If misery loves company, then here is all I can offer for help. Just imagine someone buying a much more expensive Guardian Unit and having the same problem, with the OS costing over $600 instead of under $200. Now they know pain.

FYI, the 4000 and 4100 have the Snap OS in flashram as you expressed you wanted. So does the 2000 and some of the single drive units if I remember right. All of the Guardian OS units are on Disk, but then the OS is on all 4 drives (backed up) in the 4 drive units.

Good luck, but I have nothing else I can offer... Sorry...

Yep, I think your right, he may be a little upset with Adaptec. But he is not any where near the first.

WebDawg, Like Phoenix32 (Andy) said we can not distributed Copyrighted material. And they (adaptec) has/does monitor this sight closely. Just read the sticky on the top of the threads.

Others have looked for the images and have found it. So I would suggest you do some reading and try to found out where. The 2200 image file has been called by several names, 2200.bin and Snap2200.bin if that helps you any.

If you do some research most of the larger units have the OS on the HD. and any one of the HD will boot the system. Some have the the OS in flashram. But they present there own set of problems when it comes to upgrading. So there is pros and cons to both.

Yes. I was upset. I have calmed down. I was just having problems burning cds with adaptecs aspi.

Sorry for the outburst.

So I am correct though. Hypothetically If I did have a Snap Server 2200 I would need to find the same Unit and clone a drive? Hypothetically that is the only way to do it without talking to adaptec?

Well, sorta...

If you had another 2200, you coud just put in one drive and let the system partition it and put the OS on it for you, just by putting a blank drive in. You would not have to clone the drive yourself or even mirror the other drive.

Without another 2200, you would be pretty much stuck unless you could find an image (.bin file) of a drive by searching Bit Torrent or something.

So how bout this.

Anyone have a snap 2200 and want me to send them a hard drive so they can throw it in their snap server real quick?

I don't think users will be willing to break a RAID1, just for you. It take a lot of time to rebuild or create a raid with these larger drives.

Buy a second 2200, then you will have a backup.

Beside with your location across the universe, service is unlikey.
