Default Re: Upgrade drives on a 410

Ok here's what I did next.
  1. Put the original 500gb drive back in slot 1.
  2. Booted the server and was able to access the guardian OS.
  3. Verified the drive was recognized
  4. Put the unformated/unpartitioned 1tb drive in slot 2
  5. Waited 1 hour
  6. Pulled the 500 gb drive from slot 1
  7. Put an unformatted/unpartitioned 1tb drive in slot 1
  8. Waited 1 hour
  9. Restarted the server

After all that, still no dice. One thing I did notice was that when I checked the drive that was in slot 2, it got partitioned and there were logical drives!?!?!

I will be using a RAID 5 but the RAID has already been removed from the original drive so I don't think that's it.

You mentioned checking the BIOS. How would I get to that? The SNAP only has a serial port in the back

Also, I downloaded the disk management tool from Western Digital to format the drive but I'm not sure if that was a good idea or not. Do you recommend another tool for the quick erase or is that or the windows version sufficient?

Again, thanks for all your help with this!
