Title: Losing Access to DNS-323
Post by: sparkie001 on March 07, 2010, 12:39:42 AM

Hi - I can map/unmap to my heart's content... but cannot access existing folders created under previous firmware, and cannot create any new folders.  If I click on the mapped drive I see the list of folders but cannot open them.

For a while I could copy using synctoy and it would run for a few min then tell me the drive was inaccessible.  I wasn't using the static IP address at the time.

Using firmware 1.08, two 2TB Hitachi drives, RAID 1, Windows 7 64 bit, static IP address, Dlink DIR 655 router.

Anyone else experience this?

P.S. I decided to try reformatting and I get Hard Drive(s) Formatting Failure. (Error Code:107)

Take the two drives out and independently test them with a computer using the disk manufacturer's diagnostics.  Note that sometimes the DNS-323 will have issues formatting a drive that isn't blank, so you may want to blank them using that same diagnostic.

Success! Being a lazy person, I took the drives out and started deleting the info, then canceled and just deleted the MBR.  Reformatted RAID 1 and it's singing along now.  So the firmware upgrade and reformatting did the trick of fixing the disappearing network drive, at least so far.  Thanks!
