If you changed nothing client-side, one would hope that it is not a client issue, but clearly it can't be ruled out. You don't want to risk damage to the drives. If you do go down the route of removing HDDs, do make sure that you carefully record the order in which you remove them and do observe good anti-static precautions. Depending on the NAS software, the configuration could be stored on the HDDs so switching them to a different NAS box may work. The advantage here is that you do nothing destructive with the drives themselves.Īnother option is to see if you can source a second hand NAS device and just swap out your hard drives.

If you are lucky, the storage is set up as a standard Windows RAID and you would be able to use a virtual machine, or a physical machine, running an OS that can mount the images and read the data. You may need an adapter to be able to read the disks and take the images if they are not SATA. Usually, I do this reconstruction in a virtual machine.

I would consider removing the hard drives from the unit, taking images of them and then using the images to reconstruct the array. If it is a single disk, or JBOD it would be easier for you. I am assuming that the storage is set up as a RAID array. If the hard drives themselves are showing no errors, that's a good thing and it could be the device itself that is just being problematic. The risk is that the longer the device is operating, the more likelihood there is of failure. On the surface, it seems as though the hardware is failing, hence the inability to back up the data in its entirety and the apparent loss of configuration (albeit partial). Or perhaps a way to bypass LaCie's XP Embedded in order to see a more traditional XP interface? Wondering if anyone out there has any insight into this issue. This is as much detail as I know to provide. Would really like to find a faster way to do this.

bkf files for each of these backup "chunks" and then decompressing them using NT5 backup (Windows NT Backup/Restore Utility) but so far this process has taken two weeks and I've so far only gotten about 150GB of files off. Instead I'm forced to use the backup wizard and create individual. The device itself can see/access the rest of the network, but as there is no traditional explorer I can't manually drag/drop copy files over to another network space. I tried reaching out to LaCie but they were unwilling to provide any more help than just scripted suggestions, as it is well out of warranty and a deprecated device (understandable, yet frustrating).Ĭurrently, I'm going through the process of manually backing up the contents of the drive via the Backup Wizard but I can only do so in small chunks as doing too much causes a failure which requires rebooting the device and starting over if a backup was cut off.

See the Dashboard for more information." Clicking on the provided button to open the web access dashboard opens my browser with the machine's IP in the address field but I only get the message that "This site can't be reached" " refused to connect". The disk itself is visible/detectable via the LaCie network assistant but it displays a message that it "Cannot list the device volumes. I know the credentials are right because it's the same admin credentials for all of our network drives.

I'm presented with the prompt to Enter network credentials but it won't accept the admin password at this point, despite accepting those same credentials on login and via Remote Desktop Connection. However, if I try to access the drive contents via a networked computer using the IP address in order to map the drive. I can even connect to this drive via Remote Desktop Connection and see the same as if I connect directly. There are no diagnostic issues present on the drive and the firewall for the drive is completely disabled.

I can see the data on the drive via a "Backup Wizard" but there is no traditional windows explorer. I can connect a KB/Mouse and monitor to the machine and see it boot up, I can then input the admin username/pw and boot into this special XP Embedded. I recently moved it from one physical location to another in a server rack and since then can no longer access it over the network as it won't accept the network credentials.

I have a very old 2U LaCie Ethernet Disk which has a proprietary Windows XP Embedded software installed.
