Firmware 1.06 why can't I see my recycle Bin?
I'd actually deleted some files from my DNS 323 which is mirrored with two 750 GB hard drives.
I remember that from firmware 1.04 the DNS was supposed to have a recycle bin to account for the life of me see it to be able to access the data I deleted accidentally.
Can anybody help me on the procedure to be able to access and see the recycle bin?
Thank you

Re: Firmware 1.06 why can't I see my recycle Bin?
There are multiple possible causes.
1) The .recycle folder is invisible. Have you set the explorer view (or whatever viewer you use) set to display hidden folders?
2) When you upgrade firmware, data is written to the flash memory. Have you altered the smb.default file in the flash memory or set the fun_plug script to copy the smb.conf file with recycle bin enabled with each start-up? You can check this by viewing the /etc/samba/smb.conf file and see if the recycle bin is enabled.
If you succeeded to have your recycle bin back, can you check for me if files that are saved with firefox or internet explorer (right click somewhere on a website and choose 'save link as' or 'save image as' or 'save page',...) are also saved directly to the recycle bin but with a 0 bytes size?
I've asked this before but no one seems to want to test this 
Good luck!

I'm looking at a mapped drive using Windows explorer (XP2, sp3) I can see ./systemfile so I know my explorer is set to display hidden folders, there is no hidden folder called .recycle.

You need to configure your NAS to enable the "recycle bin" on it. See this link: http://dns323.kood.org/howto:bettersamb … ecycle_bin
It is not clear if the OP thinks that the recycle bin capability is there by default (which is not the case).

Re: Firmware 1.06 why can't I see my recycle Bin?
Guys this has totally confused me but after some house keeping on very important personal pictures this week I accidently deleted a folder on the DNS 323 containing said pictures!
However after hours of researh on recovery SW like On-Track Total Recovery I stumbled open this missing "$RECYCLE>BIN" folder (see attached image) with the deleted picture folder in it!
You can imagine my surprise and relief, but the question remains where has this folder appeared from as I haven't followed any instructions on creating such a folder as per the suggestions in this post threads?
I have hidden folders and files enabled in Windows Vista 32 bit, 64-bit and Windows XP 32-bit and this folder is visible on all of these OS platforms.
I think it would help if we knew how and when this folder became visible so we all can benefit from this discovery?
Was it as I think it was due to the firmware upgrade to 1.06?
Cheers
