Default Snap OS missing

I've put a spare 40g drive into it to see if I can format it but the other 3 slots are empty at the moment. I would have thought I would still be able to configure it without drive in it.

Any ideas's
Jamie,

On the newer snap the OS resides on the hard drives. So you are missing the OS needed to boot. You will need to copy the boot trackes over, then reinit /format the drive. Most use Digital Dolly on the Knoppix Disk to do this.
