Hi all,

I've had a good read through this and the other threads and there's some great info and work been done here.

I've got hold of a Snap Server 1000, it's the later model without the OS on flash. It comes up with the System light flashing and the disk light flashing twice - waiting for software download in broadcast mode I believe. I cannot connect to the device at all, with or without the HD attached. I've gone through the various factory reset options.

I understand the PSU failed (I've obtained a replacement) so the previous owner tried to slave the HD to an XP PC to retrieve the data. I think that in doing so, XP has written something to the drive which has overwritten the SnapOS so the device no longer boots up.

I'm comfortable with using Linux and DD, the missing part of the puzzle is a link to the snap2200.bin file which is what I think I need to resurrect the device. Can anyone on here help? All the FTP sites mentioned here seem to be long dead.

Many thanks!
