Greetings:
If you have read this forum, it gives you detailed instructions on how to use DD.
Click on link below for info on Snaps on how to
http://wiki.procooling.com/index.php/Snap_Server
You have a few options here:
1.) Find an image somewhere out in web land.(Don't ask here Adaptec monitors this site for such activities)
2.) You could also try and image the crashed drive you have now with DD to see if you can get the first 25MBs and try and transfer image to new 120GB. If that doesn't work(try if you can) then try and run some disk utility to correct any sector problem(s) on the hard drive then try doing the image again. Most ppl here subject Spinrite. It's good and I have used it for many years until I discovered HDD Regenerator which I think is a better program. Either or try one or the other or another.
3.) Buy another (working) Snap1100 off ebay and make an image using DD and transfer new image to your 120GB hard drive then install in you company's Snap1100 then put other Snap1100 on ebay.
4.) Sell the Snap1100 you have on ebay IF you don't want to mess with it at all.
If you are successful at making an image save it for later uses if this ever happens again you will have an image for your new drive.
Remember, hard drives do not last forever.

I've managed to get my hands on a new harddrive (120GB) and want to use it with the 1100 server.
I'm reading lots of articles where people have upgraded their snap using DD etc. But we haven't got a working original drive.
is there still a possibility to use this NAS or is it better of in the bin?
Thanks a lot
