Hard Drive format problem
« on: September 15, 2009, 03:52:39 PM »
I am running a RAID1 setup with 2 1.5tb seagate drives. I recently upgraded to 1.08b5.
One of my drives (Seagate 1.5TB) unfortunately failed; I replaced it with exactly the same one (ST31500341AS).
When I get in the admin screen I get the wizard to re-build the array.
When DNS tries to reformat the drive I get the following error just on 1%:
Hard Drive(s) Formatting Failure. (Error Code:107)

Any idea what is this error and how it can be resolved?

Thanks.

Did you test the drive with the Seagate diagnostic on a desktop?  It could simply be a drive problem.

Nope didn't.
The drive is virgin.
Actually this is the 2nd drive that I get as replacement, the first replacement was dead out of the box,,
will check

I'd test that before I'd blame the DNS-323.  FWIW, I did that exact thing to make sure the RAID would rebuild when I installed my 1.5TB Samsung drives, I pulled one, took it and formatted it with the hard disk diagnostic, then stuck it back in to see if it would rebuild.  With Firmware 1.07 it rebuild without any issues.  I had previously tested both of the drives after receiving them before trying to use them in the DNS-323.

UPDATE: The HDD was checked thoroughly with the SeaTools application in Windows.
I tried to format it with partitions, without partitions, etc. etc. and the result was the same:
Error 107.
Any ideas?  ??? ???
Maybe I should try downgrading  :-[
