Hi Everyone..
New to the forum and new owner of snap 2200..

Company was getting rid of several 2200's, i was able to get a 2200 500gb model.
Problem was there were no drives..
Another coworker got the same model, but with 250gb drives.
Bought 2 500gb Western Digital EIDE drives for my system, but didn't have the OS image.
Since my coworkers was working fine, we decided to take the lower drive out of his, and slap in one of my 500gb drives (we were told the OS image would be copied over). This seemed to work fine. I than proceeded to take the hard drive and put it back in my 2200 as the top drive. Threw in the other 500gb drive in the lower slot.
So far so good. After turning it on, was able to connect through the web interface and begin configuring it. I went to change the disk configuration from 2 seperate to Dataprotection (mirrored). It began to do the rebuild but than always fail at about 72% and than no disk activity at all. I lose the web connection as well. The only way is to shut down and restart, but then the process of rebuilding happens again. This just repeats over and over again. By the way it takes about 12hours to get to that 72% mark (is that normal)??
I could reset everything back to 2 seperate drives and work that way, but would really prefer to have them mirrored.
would appreciate if anyone can help out...
Thanks...
