Default Re: LCD Message : FAILED: Disk 1

Just install it it will auto format.

Once it's formated, and you want to set the snap in RAID1 mode (mirror), you will need your drive with data in drive 1 position (10000).

What brand drive was in it? SnapAppliance use to use WD and Hatichi. When Adaptec bought them out they started installing cheap Maxtors. I have gotten some bad from the start. I use interprise drives (raid edition) where I can, they are design for 24/7 operation.

I would make a image file if you do not have one, but wait till you install the new drive. Then copy the clean drive.
