Hi,

I have a DNS320 with a WD Green WD20EARX-00PASB0 2TB.

When I plug it in initially, it was detected fine and there is option to reformat it. However, I decided to do a firmware upgrade. So I updated the NAS to 2.02. The option to reformat my drive is now grayed out but I still can see my drive in Hard Drive Info.

I have swapped bays and it is still the same. How do I fix this? Could this be a firmware issue? If so, is there a way I can downgrade it? Thanks

Guys, I just got this fixed in the most unlikely way.

I used Internet Explorer 9 to access the Web UI and subsequently I was able to format the drive. I was using Chrome previously. I have had similar problems with enterprise grade security / network products with fancy Web UI management interface / portal and most of the time. They seemed to work well / much better with Internet Explorer.

Cheers!

For many D-Link products, IE seems to work best for UI access (followed by Firefox), while Chrome seems to behave the most erratically, often causing breaks in functionality.

That is one thing that makes me very angry with a number of manufactures. 

After all it's not as if IE is standards compliant in any shape or form and not all of us use windows.

Maybe D-Link should do something about making their web UI standards compliant then we wouldn't have these problems.
