Hello,

I have two brand new DNS-313s here and want to install them. I've bought WD 500 GB 500 AAKS disks from the compatibilty list but unfortunately the install utility cannot detect the device. It does get an IP adress (192.168.0.xx) in the network. The harddisk led is green all the time, and the network led flickers.

I thought it could be harddisk problem so I also tried:
Seagate 320 Gb 7200.10
Maxtor 300 Gb 6v300F0
Samsung F1 500 Gb

but neither device would work: green hdd light and install util cannot find it in the network.

Devices do not respond on pinging either. Even trieing to reset it to factory default fails: the power led will not start blinking as it should according to the manual.

I'm really hoping anybody can provide a solution, or a suggestion to try.

Thanks!

can you see the disk if you connect device via the usb cable? if so, and you are running linux, you can try partitionin disk with the following schema:
sda1 - 500MB , type 82 (linux swap)
sda3 - 500MB - type 83 (linux), boot
sda4 - 200MB - type 83 (linux)
sda2 - rest of the disk - type 86 (ntfs)

then format the linux partitions with ext2, create directory /.boot on the sda3, take the rootfs.tgz from the CD and do

dd if=rootfs.tgz of=rootfs_nhdr.tgz bs=1 skip=104

then extract contents of a rootfs_nhdr.tgz to the /.boot directory

umount the disk, plug in the network cable and hope for the best
