Default Re: Hack a Snap Sever 1000?

Ok.

This is what i found. I hve messed with my 2 WD 120-gig drives almost all day, Odd but the snap server never did find them. Oh well I must move on.

Since my Snap did see my Segate 120-gig drive i decided to move on with this drive. I have been messing with my Segate 120-gig drive for hours. Originally no matter what i did the Snap 1000 was only seeing the drive as a 40-gig. At the time i was using the following command while in "Debug" mode per all the instructions.

config devices format 10000 /reinit.

still nothing. only showing 40-gig. After looking at the following link provided a few hours ago for a unrelated issue.

Snap Server Help Wiki - http://wiki.procooling.com/index.php/Snap_Server

I happend to notice a diffrent command line.

co de format 10000 /reinit

At this point I was willing to try anything. As to my GREAT supprise this command line worked. How off is that! I have since gotten greedy again and purchased a 250-gig WD hard drive for both my Snap 1000 and Snap 1100, Upgraded and both are running great sofar.

Just a quick note.

I used DOLLY to copy over the info from the original Snap drive to the new drives. I got extramly tired of watching this program run for hours and hours. I took some more of your posts info about only needing the first 10-meg of data off the drives. Much faster and was done in minutes instead of hours. here is the command line I used for Dolly.

DOLLY xhd128:0-1000000 xhd129:1000000 /i

I am still looking for Snap OS of 3.4.805 or the newer 4. if any one would like to share.
