Can't install BT
« on: January 26, 2009, 04:35:24 AM »
EasySearch(v4400) won't install BT on the DNS323. The only message I got is "check you disk". There is no new volume called "BT". Any idea? I am running the latest firmware 1.06. I have a single Seagate Barracuda 1TB disk.

TIA

Hello! have you tried power cycling your DNS-323 and then re-install Bitorrent via easy search utility 4400?

Yes. I did. Many times. This is a new DNS323 (about 3 weeks). Everything works(seems to be) except BT and the Installation CD. I downloaded Easy Search and 1.06 from D-Link site. UPnP is working as well as FTP and iTunes server.

BTW, the "Loading..." message screen did pop up after I pressed the "BitTorrent" button.

One more thing, the firmware date from the TOOLS->Firmware show 12/03/2008. The firmware date from D-Link site is 12/29/2008. Which date is correct?

i cant get my BT to work either, seems like it has created a directory structure but the easysearch fails to show the BT drive after it has run,

All this worked fine before upgraded my 320gb drive to 2x1.5tb drives.  I wonder if that is the problem?

either way, there are some serious problems with the firmware in the DNS that need to be addressed the the dns team

Where did you find the directory structure? I thought a new volume suppose to be created?

Just use FileExplorer and pull up the network drive from the MSHOME group and you should see the directory chain.  It will then show the DNS-323 with Volume_1 and the BT directory.


I can see the BT directory but the easysearch does not show the BT active.  This worked before for me when I had 1 x 320gb drive

Now i have 2x1.5tb drives and I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that I have 2 drives or that they are 1.5tb

I just noticed you are running a single 1tb drive so not sure where this problem is comming from

I am thinking my problem could be the location of my single drive. I am going to swap it to the other bay when I get home tonight or to make sure it is installed on the left bay.

I also notice another problem - fun_plug won't install. I was hoping to telnet to the box to explore more on the BT issue.

I think it is on the left bay, but it could be the other left.  ::)

from the 1.35 Quick Install Guide, if you're looking at the FRONT of the 323, a single drive should be installed in the left bay.  If it's in the right bay that would explain why BT won't install.

Okay. I moved the disk to "the other left", but BT still won't install and same thing with fun_plug. Any idea?  :(

BTW, under STATUS-> Device Info, the slot that the disk is in is slot 2. It was in slot 1. Is this correct? Or should I move the disk back to the "right" left bay?

If you have two drives, does the 2nd drive have to be set as a slave, or are they both set to master?

Perhaps since this is a new setup for you it would be a good idea to start from scratch:

1)  Upgrade to firmware 1.06 if you haven't done so already
2)  Make sure your HDD is in the left bay (facing the front of the 323)
3)  Reset the 323 back to factory state (the reset button on the rear of the 323)
4)  Before changing any of the settings, go to Tools -> Raid and set the raid type & reformat
5)  Once Complete, Log back in and run the Setup Wizard
6)  Use the Easy Setup Utility to install BT

There's a chance that what you've done already has committed certain changes to the hard drive that aren't reversable unless the drive is reformatted.  So start over from scratch and see if you have any better luck with it.

Thx ttmcmurry, but I already have 10G data on the DNS323. I would rather not to do the reinstall. Anyone else has any suggestion.
