New 2nd Drive not formatting
« on: January 07, 2010, 08:43:39 PM »
H/W B1
F/W 1.08B8

Left: Seagate ST31000340NS 1 TB
Right: Seagate ST31000340NS 1 TB

Error Code 107

Had twin Seagate 1TB Barracuda ES drives. Right one failed. Sent back to Seagate and got replacement. DNS-323 sees it OK, knows its serial number, but when it tries to format it before going into RAID 1 mode, HD format fails with error code 107. Pulled drive out and tried on Windows box, which saw it OK and formatted to NTFS OK. Tried again on DNS-323 with no joy. Reset to factory defaults and format only got to 3%. What is Error code 107 and how do I get this to format? I'm using FW 1.08.  
BTW- When I downgraded to FW 1.07, the formatting worked, but only got up to 94% and stalled. Downgraded again to 1.06 and formatting stalled at 94%. Tried many times.

After formatting failed at 94% many times, I finally woke up this morning, unplugged the power cord, held in the reset button and when it restarted, it then wanted to format BOTH drives. I was horrified, so I hit skip and went to the status page. On that page, it said that it was rebuilding the RAID 1 and I needed to wait 140 minutes. Lo and behold, when it was done, everything was fine.
Now, I'm going to cross my fingers and move back to FW 1.08 again. Wish me luck.
