Go to the download forum of plugout.net and download the guide for first install.
There is today also a webgui that runs under ms windows that let you install our firmware without need to take out the HDD

:disapprove viewforum.php?f=7

see main page of this forum :whistle
Of course that page is for installing the fvdw-sl firmware

If you want to install the lacie firmware you can find here a good guide

ok I have a harddisk and a macbook with windows in bootcamp. I don't came further than waiting for u-boot. Also I can't turn off my network space 2 without pulling out the plug. It gives a red/blue flashing light. please help me a.s.a.p

[fvdw]

which firmware do you want to install ?

you run windows on a MAC in bootcamp, I do not have any experience with that
Does windows in bootcamp support netcat ? if not then the fvdw-sl console can not work
But becuae it reamins in waiting for u-boot I suppose your windows in bootcamp cannot communicate with the LAN...

The red/blue flashing means that the nwsp2 doesn't recognize the disk.
A workaround could using a pc running Linux or windows. I am sorry but I don't have a MAC so difficult to develop a tool for that

ok forget what i said! i want to set the LACIE firmware but i don't come further than n <enter> l <enter> 5 <enter> it says "value out of range". what do i have to do? what i did was just follow the how to.

[fvdw]

which how to ? (link please)
Probably you did not create the extended partition 1 or you have already defined a partition with number 5.
In linux you can only create 4 primary partitions when using ms-dos partition tables. More (logical) partitions can be created within an extended primary partition. So one of the partions you have cretaed must be an extended one

i formatted the disk in 1 partition in the beginning and then started doing the stuff of the how to

[fvdw]

probably you did not write the MBR as described

The MBR contains a partition table , what the how to does is modify that to match the disk size of the the new HDD

After writing the MBR you partition table should look something like this

Code: Select all

Disk /dev/sda: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121601 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks  Id System
/dev/sda1               1         250     2008093+  5 Extended
/dev/sda2             251      121601   974751907+ 83 Linux       (xfs)
/dev/sda5               1          32      256977  82 Linux swap
/dev/sda6              33          33        8001  83 Linux       (raw)
/dev/sda7              34          34        8001  83 Linux       (ext3)
/dev/sda8              35         140      851413+ 83 Linux       (ext3)
/dev/sda9             141         249      875511  83 Linux       (ext3)
/dev/sda10            250         250        8001  83 Linux       (raw)

You can see the partition table by using fdisk program and entering command "p"

If it doesn't look like this then the instruction in the how to won't be sufficient
