Default Re: Snap 1100 with no disk found

Steevo:

This file(bin file) is something that you will not find at Adaptec or can simply ask them for it because they do not have it. The files they have once again are for upgrading a unit that is in good working order. Here is my post I posted before that explained what you HAVE to do.
There is NO OTHER WAY around it.

I wrote before...

"You need the image file from a hard drive(other then your own HD) that already has a good SnapOS on it. The files that Adaptec sent you is for installing on a preexisting SnapOS that is already functioning(working) on a Snap Server. The "image" is a copy that you would rip so to speak(see how to make an image from the forum) from a working drive that already has a good working SnapOS on it. Then you copy it to your hard drive.

So ANY sup file you got(or will get or find) is not what you need. You need a copy in .bin format of a preexisting good SnapOS from another drive to copy on to your drive. Without this you are out of luck.
Redundant , but I hope the point is clear.

That's it Steevo...Re read Dave's post on the bin image information here. It tells you just about everything you need to know. But once again, Adaptec will not have what you need because they do NOT have it.

The one I received from Adaptec was called
snapos_34807.exe
containing folder
SnapOS_34807
containing file
snap_sys.sup
of size 29.3 MB (30,814,256 bytes)

But that seems to not be the correct file.
