can't recognize new drive/firmware

I just upgraded my dns323 to the new firmware 1.06.  I used to have a standard config (2 separate drives)  I removed the two drives, put in a third drive and then upgraded.  After i rebooted my box, I put the drives back in and it only recognizes one drive at a time.  It doesn't matter how I mix and match it, it still only sees one drive at a time.  Any ideas?

I know the data is still on the drives... my NAS will see the data after I reboot it.... but it will only see one of the drives....

any help would be appreciated

Re: can't recognize new drive/firmware

just an update....Got a reply from DLink support and I guess I'm just an idiot...  will try when I get home today

From support:
If you start with one drive, and it is in the left bay, it will be Volume 1. And when you add the second drive it will become Volume 2 and the right drive will become Volume 1.

At this point, when the user accesses Volume 1, it will appear as if all of the information is gone, but it´s actually on Volume 2.

If you switch the physical position of the first drive to the Right bay, you will be able to access the files.

The reason this happens is:

There are logical volumes and physical volumes.

A physical volume refers to the actual hard drive.
A logical volume refers to a formatted partition.

  . In Standard mode with one disk , the physical volume is irrelevant and the logical volume is Volume 1 regardless of which bay the drive is in.

  . In Standard mode with two disks, the physical location of the disks will determine which volume is which drive. Volume 1 is always on the right and Volume 2 is always on the left.
