Hi just got my new DNS-320 Rev B 1.0FW, I also bought a Seagate Barracuda 1TB drive for it too.
Now i must say its so far been a great NAS (Well its not smoking at the moment which is a good sign) but i seemed to have done the most stupid thing ever.

I placed the New Drive into Slot 2 instead of Slot 1 like a muppet. I have just completed copying a 1TB hard drive that was in a old nas that went bang (Wasn't a Dlink but a ICYBOX no touching them again) so all my data is now on this new Drive abit i have to merge the spilt files from the ICYBOX's stupid Fat32 system to which split 4GB+ files in to two or more segments.

I tried to change the drive to slot one after powering down the Dlink DNS-320 but when i fired it up it wouldn
t even mount the drive but if i placed it slot 2 the info was back.

Is there a way i can move from Slot 2 to 1 and keep my data so when my new drive comes i can then setup another volume without loosing my data.

Also i found out when i tried to setup the Dlink with the DVD the software didn't find the NAS drive i had to use the old fashioned why of using web page once i got the IP for the NAS drive.

Thanks for any help offered on here. Also is there any new firmware for the DNS-320 Rev B as i am currently on Version 1.0

Have you try doing a reset to factory default? IIRC, the NAS (DNS-320 rev A) will recognize the drive even when moved to/from different slot.

Would Resetting the drive cause it to reformat the drives ??. i can give it a try just do not want to risk loosing the data on said drive atm.

Thanks for reply

No, resetting to factory default will not affect existing data on drive.

Thanks mate it worked i am now with the drives right way, Also now placed another 1TB drive in and new Drive is showing Volume 1 in Disk 2 and the 1TB drive with data is in Disk 1 showing a Volume 2.

So thanks.
