Creating a USB Recovery Drive for Buffalo TS5000 Series TeraStations. Insert a USB flash drive (minimum 2GB) into one of the USB 2.0 ports of the TeraStation. Note: This process will erase the contents of the flash drive.
The Gigabit SATA NAS 2TB supports RAID 0 and RAID 1 configurations: RAID 0 (striped. For accessing files: Network adapter installed and functioning properly. Besides updating the firmware on the Firmware Update screen, you can.
Log in to Settings for the TeraStation and navigate to the 'Management' tab. You can access Settings by either entering the TeraStation's IP address into a web browser window or by using NAS Navigator. Click on the configuration button for 'Restore/Erase'.
Select the option to 'Create a USB drive for initializing settings'. Select the USB drive from the drop-down menu and click Execute. Enter the randomly generated four digit code to confirm. The message indicating that the USB key creation is in progress should appear. This can take several minutes. Once the process finishes, click OK and close out of the options box.
The key is now created. This drive can be used to recover the OS on the TeraStation if necessary and will reset all settings to their default configuration. Save this drive for future use.
Hi Lee, Model No: NAS-55HDE with 1 x NAS-C5 slave. Software Version 1.01.00 Symptom: When powering down unit displays blue flashing light and refuses to respond to any control other than the Power & Stop Button reset.
Having performed the reset the unit will switch on, behave normally, connect to remote unit etc. But will go back to blue flashing light as soon as you try to power down. Does unit display this image: Yes. I do not unplug my units at night. I have tried applying the temporary fix, this does not seem to have changed anything. I have tried using the Sony supplied dongle, same reaction.
I have tried direct connection to my router (Netgear DG834G, Internet provider BT), same reaction. I have tried two ethernet extender systems (one wireless and one that loops through the mains), same reaction. It seems that the problem persists with any type of valid internet connection, but will clear and shut down properly if the internet is disconnected by unplugging dongle/ethernet cable/whatever before attempting to switch the NAS -SC55 off. Anything else you need? On a side issue, putting your Customer Services hat on, I have contacted CIC firstly so they have my details, if and when a solution becomes available. Secondly because when this issue began and CIC said they had no knowledge of any fault I had to try to clear the fault myself.
Realising it was to do with the internet connection I purchased a new wireless dongle. When that failed to clear the problem I was advised to try a full system reset (deleting all my saved albums) and had to buy an external hard drive to back up the system, will Sony reimburse me for these purchases in the same way as they are assisting customers who have paid for repairs that were not needed due to this fault? Regards Simon.
As a temporary solution remove the dongle and reset the Gigajuke by pressing and holding the stop key and press the on/standby key on the front of the unit. Then reconnect the dongle.'
Update received from Gracenote 'it turns out this was not a Gracenote issue, and I’m really hoping to get to them about procedures for possible retraction or clarification, or whatever’s appropriate in that realm.

Hi StartTheCar My model no is -= NAS S55HDE, software version - 1.01.00, the system locks up once put into standby and freezes with the blue strip light slowly pulsing as if music is being analysed. It can work as normal for days or only hours before this happens, with no discernable patten preceding it. I see the screen as shown.
Can I please ask again that you remove the 'answer' tag. It is giving some forum users the wrong impression that a fix has been found. The fix does not last. Even if the fix appears to be more permanent for the models you have, if other users are finding that the fix does not work then the issue is not resolved. Afternoon everyone Thanks for the providing all those details so quickly.
It allowed our engineers to focus on the NAS-S55 and produce the attached document. This new, model specific procedure should prove a more effective temporary solution for this model. Certainly it has so far proved effective on the units we have here. We are also still looking at a more permanent fix (which I will continue to update you on) but this should allow you to fully use the product in the meantime. Any further issues, please continue to post here. Best regards Lee.
