Title: I can see it via IP, Easy Search doesn't see it at all. Can't map to it
Post by: Mayhem on May 22, 2010, 06:46:15 AM

I had something odd happen and I thought I knew how to fix it.

My unit has been up and running for about a month now and suddenly it "lost" all of the files and most of the available space.

When I looked at the folder structure, I had only one folder listed where I had 12 or so before. Within that one folder was a 46kb zip file with a name starting with ifo. I wasn't able to open it. The available space showed 46mb. I have a 750GB drive that was no where near full.

I updated to firmware 1.03 and unmounted the connection.

I can't get it back.

The network activity light shows traffic and the light indicating the drive is working is on and blue.

Frankly, I'm stumped. Any help will be appreciated.

Ok, I foolishly hit the reset button and now can't see it at all.

*sigh*

OK, more..

I browsed the network and saw the 321's default name. Clicking on this shows the folders that I previously lost.

Easy Search still can't see it.

Ok. Nevermind. Either I stumbled into the Twilight Zone or I managed to fix it the way it supposed to be.

Jeebuz that was annoying.
