NAS Forum

Ok I'm semi literate in computers. Bought a Nas 2000 and a Western Dig 500mb drive. WD5000AAKB. it's P ATA or IDE in old speak and works perfecly in my computer which I have tried to make sure it wasn't the Disk.

I just want to use it on my LAN. Plugged in the NAS shows up on network and can access control via PC on network. Go to Maintenance and here's what I see.

The HD diagram says found new disk please format but the circle shows a yellow black yinyang sign in stead of a tick, so something's wrong. The disk info line has all options greyed out so can not format the disk from my NAS.

I was sure this HD would work. Now I'm thinking simple incompatability? There's no mention of jumper settings in the destructions?

Does any one have a clue?

Thanks in advance,

Mike.

Ah so caught up in my IT problems I didn't say hello!

My first post on your forum and dispensed with the pleasantries.

Hope someone can help me.

I got a reply from Raid Sonic's support today saying they have no solution, to take it back to my Reseller for an exchange, but if it's incompatible I'm goosed!

Frustrating.



Thanks for replying.
