Hard Drive(s) Formatting Failure. (Error Code:112).
« on: February 12, 2010, 03:38:03 PM »

Hi!  I'm trying to get RAID 1 on my DNS-323.  I already had a 1TB WD in the DNS working and have been using it for a couple months.  I bought a 2nd 1TB WD (same hard drive) to set up a RAID 1.  I put in the disk today and when it prompted me to format the disk, I chose to reconfigure for RAID 1.  It got about 5% complete when I got the following error message: Hard Drive(s) Formatting Failure. (Error Code:112).  I've tried to google what this error code meant but found nothing.

First thing to do is take that drive out and test it connected to another computer with the WD diagnostics, do the full surface scan.

better yet, I found the following, http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?action=printpage;topic=7363.0

All I had to do was downgrade to firmware 1.07.  Now that is complete, I'll prob just go back to 1.08.
