NAS b3000 installation - Quick Restore problems

[aforget]

I want to restore a b3000 v2 NAS because both system disk have been replaced.

Does anyone successfully recover on blank disk using the DVD?

I have two DVD and with the first one; the recovery operation hangs at "Copying Files" (This can take up to 15 minutes.).

With the other disk, I have to boot 2-3 times to have it read by the machine.

I also tried to recover from a s4000 DVD (for Windows 2003), but it complains about missing files, and I'm not able to get through the copying files windows too.

Thanks,
Alain

Hi Alain,

The copying files takes longer than 15 minutes, sounds like that set of QR CDs is working just fine.

Here are some tips:
-Replacement drives should be 36 GB, U320 10K (or 15K)
-As the system boots up, press F8 to get into the Smart Array 5i RAID controller; delete any logical drives that may have been created from earlier attempts
-Ensure your QR CDs are clean

Hope this helps.

I received new DVD's this morning and recovery process worked at the first try. :-)
