I tried the ide 48bitLBACounter reset and ide 48bitLBACounter reset returns 'IDE 48 bit LBA hits: 0' then reinit drives and still get the same stuff.

Has anyone figured this out yet on the 4100's?
We are in the same boat J4Y.

I have a 705N that I converted to a 4100 and upgraded to SNAP OS 4.0.854. The info on my SNAp is as follows:

Software Version: 4.0.854
Hardware Version: 2.2.1
BIOS Version: 2.4.437

I currently have 4 x 120gb drives installed but I have 4 x 250gb drives sitting here staring me in the face. I am reluctant to try and upgrade the drives...not so much because of data loss...more because of the time involved (especially formatting). From what I have read so far, it seems the the 4100's are teh problem children.

I think I am gonna sit tight until one of teh *smarter* guys figures out what the deal is withteh 4100's!
