    Thankyou I will try that in a bit.

    Just to clarify when I extract the file I downloaded I have another zipped file within it called disc. Is this the one I need to unzip and copy to drive or the whole lot.

     

    Thanks again for your help

    Yes. Format the drive on your PC. Unzip the downloaded software to a folder, copy the contents of the folder to the drive. Remove the drive from the PC and install in the unit. Boot the unit and the software will be installed automatically.

    I have a similer problem but with a ds4. I can connect drive to pc and format it and the ds4 loads into bootloader but as I don't know the ip I cannot go any further. When you say connect hdd to pc do you install software to hdd ??

    Hello tj9at_jp

     

    I connected the PC and the DS2 with a crossover network cable and used the windows PING command. I started at 192.168.001 then 192.168.001.002 and so on . Took a long time and I got lucky. Theres a simpler way if you can connect the drive directly to your PC.

     

    You will need a new hard drive(s) and a small bit of PC know how. If you want I'll talk you through it by PM.

     

    As a matter of interest you can put any size drives into the DS2, up to 2TB. I put 2 400GB drives into the one I have giving me 800 GB. Got them in Maplin for E180 for the two. The software is free from the DM site. Theres a lot of rubbish talked about DM drive size and type ect. Any normal HD will work perfectly.
