Hi, I have inadvertently damaged my nanoboot usb drive. This usb nanoboot stick has been functioning for years now without any problems. I have a couple of harddrives attached and due to the age I don't have all the setup details anymore. While I was trying to create a new xpenology machine, I believe the DSM web assistant has connected to my nanoboot server, and inadvertently damadged / wrote to my nanoboot server. Since then it won't boot anymore. Boot ends with "Diskstation login:" cursor, and the synology webassistant finds my old nanoboot server as a DS3612xs migratable machine. I guess that information has been written to the bootsector of either the usb stick or to the harddrives. Preferably I would like to just restore my nanoboot server. If this shows impossible, I would like to try to recover the contents of the hard drives. I have already tried the following: - made a new nanoboot usb stick and tried to boot ->> this does not work (Diskstation login prompt) - boot with a ubuntu stick (version 12.10 I had lying around on a CD) ->> could not mount the hard drives, the volumes show as raid, ext4, but I was unable to mount them During boot process: - eth0 not running - eth1 not running So I'm not sure up to what point my installation has been damaged. What can you advise? Thanks for helping out!
