Hi all,
It is possible to get the DS412+ to boot from an external USB drive, I have done this successfully with an A-DATA C802.
Normally the NAS will not boot any old USB you connect to it, regardless of whether the drive is in the front USB port or the back. It turns out the BIOS is locked to only boot a certain VID/PID (F400 for both) so even if you clone the internal USB to an external drive it will not boot.
This has been a problem for me.. until now!
Hi guys, I need your help. I was trying to install DSM 7 into my DS1511+ using the method to make the unit think it is capable of. Unfortunately, I didn't make any backup of the drive because I didn't have any data on it. I also know the procedure because I've done this before. It was DS1512+ that I hacked to install DS1513+.
After rebooting the system, it generates random MAC addresses every time and I can't reinstall DSM, it does not show up in the synology assistant.
1-Any ideas how
