OK, now we're getting somewhere.
I unplugged the HDD and removed it from the unit.
Powered it up. I had previously set the ip address to 192.168.1.30 and was able to access the web gui with either a web browser or with Assist.

With the HDD removed I cannot access any of that either way.

I just re inserted the HDD and I can access the web gui again at the same IP. Assist also finds the unit.

So it appears it is loading something off the drive but the drive is not found by any of the utilities. No flash rom here.

Check or Repair Disk says
This page is not available because no disks were found.

As do all the other pages on the Disk Status page.

So now we know. The disk does work, but the storage area is not being found, though it seems likely the settings that I set, IP address, server name, pw, are stored on the disk that I cannot otherwise access.

The server log page says:
Severity legend: I=Information, W=Warning, E=Error, F=Fatal Error, S=Server Startup
Message Source Date Time
E LCD Message : FAILED: Disk 1 System 6/14/2008 2:54:44 PM
S System Initialization : Server v4.0.860
Build Date: Mar 2 2005 17:50:55
Boot Count: 11 System 6/14/2008 2:54:34 PM

Obviously the data area needs to be reformatted which is a function on the disk maint page, but since the disk it not found I can't do that.

So what's the next step? I think we have proven the disk does work, but there is some sort of corruption that is preventing the data area from being available.

Is there a command in the debug window to force initialization?
