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."

Well, I have other units, that work. I read where someone was posting such files years ago and Adaptec had a fit about it. Clearly I could find one of those files on BT or somewhere and clone that to my 250GB. But it would be helpful to know the name of the needed file.

I have a 40 GB model 1000, but I have a hard time understanding how if I were to clone the contents of that 40 GB to my 250GB using Digital Dolly I will have a working 250GB, but I guess it could happen.

Is that way I need to do? Get the complete contents off a 40 GB drive and clone that to the 250GB? I can do that.

But you understand how confusing all this is. How can that work? I dunno.
