glad you made this content, i might have given away all four drives that came with it.... i put in my own new drives and .... the red screeen that you have there,,,, i get no text on it. zero indication that it can even generate text. also you have a consol in where i have a four pin ..... so ... might be worth mentioning , i've tried so many button configurations, hold reset x seconds, for y seconds , hold reset and function for some variety of time . ..... you know how it goes. this was a terastation that was trashed by a company so i'm pretty sure they smashed the original drives anyway . so can i convert this this to be a drive reader at least. just anything ..... i gave away my drive reader thinking i could work soemthing out with this "four drive" drive reader ... but dang.
@Joeteck I'm using the linkstation on a home LAN it will not be connected to the internet. The "problem" right now is that my computer just doesn't see its IP address. I confess that I have more than one of these that do this. (Spoiler Alert) This conversation may expose how little I know about how a Buffalo linkstation works.
@Cal Smith add it to your network, let it get an IP, connect via the web browser, then change it to a static IP, but keep that address. It's a NAS, it must have an IP address.
I have the Terastation Pro Quad. It requires a usb flash drive to flash the firmware to the new disks. I did not have access to the unit to make a disk from the interface that is no longer available. It will boot with a linux based iso that you have to make which I have no skills to do so. Have you had this issue?
Hi - I have a LinkStation (ls-w1.0tgl/r1) with a 7 red flash error code, which appears to be a hardware failure. It doesn't show up in NAS Navigator. Not sure what my options are, but hoping I could try to find a replacement unit (probaby on ebay) and put my current drives in it? I also have a TeraStation - wouuld there be a way that I could use that to access the data from my LinkStation? Any thoughts would be appreciated?
@@Joeteck Unfortunately I tried and it doesn't have the display so I am assuming a slightly different model even though it is a ts3400 series. Function button did nothing.
ALSO: Make sure the "BOOT" switch on the back is set to HDD and not USB.
Thank you very much. That was my case 'cos someone moved that boot switch to the USB position.

I wish there were someone like you that could help with a linkstation duo
What's the problem?

The Linkstation I'm working with is an older model and not a "Terastation" like the one you have in your video.

@@calsmith7902 Ok, care to tell me the model number yet?

how can i repair Terastation TS3200d tftp boot image?
how to fix the linkstation quad ?
Works, thanks.
Thank you. Someone just gave me one without drives and now I have hope to getting t working. :-)
That's awesome!! Good luck, it's a great NAS

@@mattsauro8881 make sure you have unused and unpartioned drives in the NAS
Does doing this cause any loss of DATA
It does this because it lost the boot partition of the drive. So, possibly
I45 failed to recover, what next?
Make sure you have new drives in it not failed drives.
@@Joeteck same for me same error
TeraMaster!
I have that too!!
ua-cam.com/video/3nBTY5tf87Y/v-deo.html
I get "I45 recovery failed"
Install new drives.. Cant recover with bad drives.
@@Joeteck brand new drives. initialized MBR with no partition (tried GPT file system as well)
@@fightingblindthey need to be unpartitioned. Let the device do all that. Also, make sure the switch on the back is not set to USB.
Also, drives can't be larger than 16TB each.
I am the first to comment.
Congrats! Now to read what I actually said to do
