Bringing a dead 1000 back to life

Thank you all for posting such interesting info.

I have a dead Snap 1000. The hard drive was failing and I replaced it in the network from where it came with a new 250GB 1100. Although I could not log on to the server, I was able to see it and copy the data to the new 1100 to provide the shared data in a 6 workstation peer-to-peer network.

This is the first NAS I have met and I like the genre.

I have not opened up the dead 1000 yet, but my tour through the forum has led me to believe that if I put in a new drive in it, will it boot and copy the OS to the hard drive?

Does the hard drive have to be formatted first or should I re-partition it first and not format it? I will be happy with a 120GB drive in it. Is a 7200 ATA133 drive fine?

Are you getting in activity with the disk, net, link lights on the front panel?

The 1000 is suppose to have the OS in flashram. After replacing the drive on restart, the snap should format and install the necessary system files. It takes about 10 minutes before you can access it, if it is seting up the drive. Do you by chance know which version of the OS you were using? Apparently you have a version 2 bios, and v4.0.? OS if you had full capacity.
