a few days ago i could not make a new map in my spd8020
now i can not acces it via the web interface :(
sometimes i can see the interface but when trying to change things,nothing happens
it's the original firmware on it
a firmware update is not possible via the web browser
i have got the disk out now,i can see it with hirens bootcd
any idees

In the download section of this forum there is a guide how to prepare a new HDD for the spd8020 with our firmware

It is a topic in this post viewtopic.php?f=7&t=234

now i copied the sda5 like in the alternative procedure
is this ok

the nas starts the leds stop blinking but i can not find the nas
is the philips network storage wizard stil working when i change sda5?

if the leds stop blinking that is a good sign it means it has completed boot and is online

the philips network storage wizard will not detect the nas when running our firmware

You will need to do a network scan to find the ip address the spd802 is using (or look in you router when that is used as DHCP server assigning ip's)

You could also try to use \\spd8020-base (in explorer) or //spd8020-base in internet explorer

i had contact with the nas,but not for long

it is the philips software in the nas
i only changed the sda5 directory
when i tried to do a firmware update in the web browser it did not work
the nas is not visable for a moment
not a good thing for doing a firmware update
can i copy your software in to the hd
if i unpack "xfvdw-sl-12-1-phn-4jun2012.bin" then the *.img is too big for copying into the sdb1 or sdb2

yes you can copy our firmware to sda1 and sda2 (you need to use the dd command to write the images just copy won't work)
If you have setup the partitions as indicated in the new HDD guide they will not be too small. In principle the default setup of the partitions should match with what is written in the guide.
However there are reports of some spd8020 owners that have smaller sizes of sda1 and sda2 (only 100 MB) and then indeed the image won't fit.
In that case you need to re-partition the HDD in accordance with the setting as in the guide.

The xx.bin file of our firmware is bz2 compressed archive, if you extract it you will find the disk image to be written to sda1 and sda2. be sure to set a boot flag at sda1 or sda2 otherwise it won't boot

now i 'm preparing a new disk ,the old one is almost crashed syas disk-health
i have formated with gparted because in lx terminal i got errors
with the alternative method i can not get the tar in the sda5
not with lx terminal ore with file manager
"you don't have the right permissions to extract"

is sda1 and sda2 the same img-file
if i unpack the "fvdw-sl-10-1-phn-19nov2011-51lower.bin" i can see only 1 file (fvdw-sl-10-1-phn-19nov2011.img)
209Mb
not used to work with linux

yes write same image to as well sda1 as sda2

you are very patient
can you read my other problem in the post i edited
thanks

I don't know if a disk prepared with gparted will work, I always use fdisk.
Furthermore it must a disk < 2.2 TB with logical sectors of 512 Bytes, the bootloader of the spd8020 probably won't support bigger disks or advanced format disks (advanced format HDD have bigger sector size)

That you can not extract may has to do with the permissions of the file you want to extract. If you are logged in to Linux as superuser then it should be ok
you can also try to use "sudo tar...."
Or change the permission of the file using chmod command
chmod 777 /path-to/name-of-file
