Hi,
I have a thecus 2100 with 2 seagate 320gb sata drives setup as raid (mirrored) . 1 disk has errors and is going back to seagate. However my thecus will not come online with just the 1 working disk for me to recover my data. The unit shows a blue HDD recognised as it starts, and then the blue light goes off and stays off and the thecus is not viewable via its ip address or via the thecus install disk that looks on network for thecus boxes.
This may be a thecus AND faulty disk issue - can i test my thecus in anyway or rest it to a unfixed ip address and its basic state???
The seagate drives shows up in windows as healthy but unknown partition and shows 3 partitions on it. I have brought a sata docking station disk and again it runs up the disk but will not let me moount it (in mac) or use it in windows.
How can i access the info on my 1 working disk - this is after all the purpose of Raid to be covered when 1 disk goes down???
Can anyone advise on s/w that may help.
PS I asked to return my thecus 2100n for me to pay for a repair and they say its not supported for repairs if it faulty - anywhere else to get a repair if i have disk and thecus problems?
I live in the UK for returns.
Thanks in advance
Mr Batch
