Hello fellows,
I've searched in the forum for any related topic with this one, but I didn't find anything like this issue. So here it is.
I have a Maxtor/Seagate DiamondMax 22 500GB HDD installed on the first slot on DNS-323 with the Standard (independent hard drives) file system. With the D-Link's 1.06 HW firmware. It has working fine until a week ago.
One day, when I came home back from work, I noticed that the second HDD LED was blinking on an amber coloration. I found it weird, because my hard drive was installed on the second slot, so, immediately I turned off DNS-323.
Turning it on, I tried to access my drive... windows answered: no response. Accessing the DNS thru the WEB, on the "Status" tab it shows: "Hard drive info: 1" and none drives on both "Physical drive info"?!?!
Today I discovered that my HD has a bug on its factory firmware, as Seagate/Maxtor says "... there's a problem that may result on inaccessible data after the operation turn on/turn off, the affected products are: Barracuda 7200.11, Barracuda ES.2 SATA and DiamondMax 22". link: http://seagate.custkb.com/seagate/crm/s … NewLang=en
I think that, this should be the problem, what do you think?
Seagate/Maxtor are also offering, a windows based firmware updater and a non windows cd ISO format bootable flash utility.
Trying the windows based solution:
- After installed the Maxtor/Seagate HD on my desktop it get stucked on the BIOS Hard drives search, just after memory and processor check, it doesn't shows even my desktop HDD or my faulty HDD from Maxtor/Seagate. So pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL, the PC restarts, and after that restart the windows begins to load. BUT, it always get stucked while windows is loading... (maybe because the EXT2 file system of my HDD?). For the 1.06 firmware version is the EXT2 file system used or the EXT3 is used?
Trying the ISO bootable one:
- Setting the BIOS on my desktop to CDROM booting, I can execute the utility, but it is unable the find any drive.
In the meanwhile I tried to contact the D-Link support service, after four days, I came to conclusion that the DNS-323 is not the problem
Right now Im considering contacting the Maxtor support service. (Is the EXT2 file system be a problem troubleshooting with Maxtor?)
I don't know what to do....
I just need to recover all my data from the HD and update the HDD's firmware immediately.
Please I need your help.
Best regards,
Denis Kei Yokoi.

From reading your description, this sounds like a drive hardware problem. I think you
should contact Maxtor support service and follow their advise to diagnose any disk issues.

Thank you mig,
I'll try to contact the hard drive's support service.
I just need a solution that I could retrieve all my data, and futher, upgrade the HD firmware.

I agree, first try and find a way to retrieve the data, then work on upgrading the drive.
