 New router and Netgear SC101 I've had to switch routers and now my Netgear SC101 is telling me that, essentially, it is unformatted and I have to start again. The two routers have slightly different set-ups (one Belkin and one D-Link) and different IP addresses - one is 192.168.2.x and the other 192.168.1.x . Is there any way I can get the drive recognised again or di I have to start from scratch? TIA   |

Are you sure that's what it's saying? I'd have thought it was much more likely that the drive mapping is messed up and the PC thinks it needs to create a file system because it's not talking to the SC101 properly.

TIA If you run the management software it will look to build some more drives on what ever bit of disk is left on the drives. So it may look like it wants to start from scratch, the there is a drive(s) there. Don C |

Are you sure that's what it's saying? I'd have thought it was much more likely that the drive mapping is messed up and the PC thinks it needs to create a file system because it's not talking to the SC101 properly. That's definitely what it was saying. However... it seems a reboot, a detach and a re-attach has sorted the problem. Must admit I'm slightly disappointed in the way all this works. I'd assumed it would just sit on the network as a network drive without having to install software on all client PCs. Should have done my homework a bit better!

Didn't think of that. Thanks for the suggestion! |
