  1. it worked fine for me on both my test acer aspire box for over a week. Last night I proceeded to upgrade my custom build 8bay without a hitch. so far so good.

     

    the only thing is...I can't seem to locate the "boot" dir to change the s/n. anyone else have that issue?

     

    In XPEnoboot you don't have a boot folder. There is a config file called syslinux.cfg in the root of the USB stick where you can change the serial number and add your real nic. Once you see it it should look familiar to the strings you are used to editing in the past. This is the only file that you need to edit to apply the changes.

     

    Excellent thanks!!!

  2. hi guys. I can't seem to expand the size of my Nas

     

    Currently it has the following installed running SHR with 1 disk fault tolerance

    2 x 4TB (3.64 actual)

    2 x 3TB (2.73 actual)

    4 x 2TB (1.82 actual)

    =16.28 TB

     

    One of the old 2TB drive is reporting bad sector and were remapped (it is an OLD drive...)

    So when a sale came abou for another 4TB WD Red, I picked one up to replace it.

     

    So I proceeded to remove the 2TB with bad sector and did a repair. Everything was good to this point and repair went successfully.

    After the repair, I went into storage manager and it mentioned that I can expand size to about 18598GB as expected.

    I proceeded to click on manage and selected Expand volume with allocated space; click apply and proceeded.

     

    The storage manager displays that it is expanding at 0.00% and looks like the task is spinning; after about one min. it goes back to the screen telling me that I can expand size to about 18598GB.

    I tired repeating the proceedure a few times, but no avail...any ideas? Am I doing something wrong?

  3. hi all,

    I am at a lost here and hoping someone can help me out.

    I have a H340 Box running 5.0-4825 Update 2.

    I also have a external 4 Bay JOBD enclosure (Mediasonic Probox HF2-SU3S2 non-raid)

     

    This box is connected to my H340 via eSata on a Startech PEXESATA2 Card (Which I know it supports PMP (port Multiplier)). I also used to run a 8 bay RAID using windows 2008 R2 using the same HW.

     

    The only problem I am having problem with is that DSM can only see one of my drive from the external box.

     

    Can comeone please shed some light on this?

     

    Thank You so much!!
