So currently, do not stop the nas it won't reboot now. We go to try to create manually the mbr table as you posted it on a previous post

[Draftmancorp]

:shocked ah... ok.
yeah, i can't stop the nas becouse i'm not physically there. i'm working remotly, so i can perform many reboot as you want, but not a "stop" because then I couldn't turn it on. :mrgreen:
ok... I always know how to make you have a nice evening, right? :snicker i'm not so lucky.
Check, pp account, I sent you a coffee with croissants.
