Default Re: Yet another set of orphans

I am assuming this is a 4000. Quantium made 2 drives that had the same name but different in size, by a very small amount. There was another problem that was posted in a earlier thread on units that were upgraded had a different starting point.

To put a long story short. Your starting point is different on one of the drives. The way around it, is to have drive formated in a unit that is running the same OS version as the original hd were formated to.

Need to know the vitals on the snap. Click on the snap logo from the admin page, a popup will display the vitals. Also need to know your model # from the name plate, the -003 will be which hardware version you have. There is a problem with v1 & 2, but can easly be fixed.

Your 40gig drive has a jumper to make it apear small, should be removed.

Try formating the drive with the "/nocore" option. Then re-check the starting point. Data is not lost, it just a bug in the way snap calculated the starting points between OS version. If the drive is reporting to big Quantium has abtility to adjust the drive capacity size.
