First of all: excuse my english.
I'ld very appreciate to get help with the display in naslite:
I installed a WD SATA 1TB drive (formerly used in a Windows PC with a primary NTFS partition) and
I'm not able to use it.
In the beginning display I see the drive listed but with [PASS] on right in the same line.
What does this mean?
The same drive is than displayed in the storage configuration menĂ¼,
but no number for it just a star "*" - so I'm not able to do anything on that drive.
What means the "*" star and how to make the drive useable?

The drive was formerly used in another naslite-2 Server and afterwards in a Windows PC,
but now back in a new naslite-2 server. Drive should be OK. Cabling is OK, too (other drives
are working fine on the cabling - power and signal).

I tried searching for this informations in the whole forum but didn't find anything about.
I would be very thankful, if someone is able to help.

Best regards franschesko

if that drive had naslite installed on it, then you're probably booting off of it and not know it. Use fdisk and delete all partitions off the drive or use the naslite installer to disable the naslite configuration and things should work.

I'm late back.
Too many customers with other problems (Vista mostly).
Excuse me, but the NAS-server is for my personal use and
has therefor low priority.
Thanks for your answer.
The only way to solve the problem was "fdisk" of the good old DOS.
With it I killed all partitions and then I installed 1 partition with
ext3 by use of paragon partition manager.
After all, the dirve is now useable.
Thanks for help!

best regards franschesko
