Title: WD15EARS Drive is not formatting. Error 114
Post by: theshadow1234 on September 15, 2011, 06:10:39 AM

Greetings Fellow Dlinkers. I have an issue with my 1.5TB WD HDD. When i slap this baby in my DNS-323 and i try to format it it returns an error code of Error 114. I tried to repartition the disk and quick formatting it using NTFS in my Windows 7 PC but DNS-323 still refuses. The DNS-323 does recognize the HDD with no problems before asking to format it. I am running the latest Firmware of 1.09.

Is there anything that I can do to get this working or does the DNS-323 still have issues with the WDXXEARS models?

Thanks For Your Support.

I am running the latest Firmware of 1.09.

There is a beta firmware subsequent to the v1.09 release. Here are the links to the firmware download and release notes:

After formatting the disks with firmware 1.10b7, many users have then reinstalled firmware 1.08 or 1.09 for normal operation.
