The only problem being, I have lent it to a friend for the past four months and i am getting it back but before I start making data arrnagements, did it not say somewhere in the manual you can only get so much space in each folder? Also do you know where I can find an online manual for it - i have lost mine! Hi,

This is a common occurrence on Windows networks and happens when you share folders too. Sometimes you see files and sometimes not. It has been there as long as I can remember and still is not fixed. I have seen it for at least 10 years. Of course, this makes use of tools like SyncToy a bit dicey as you are never sure whether a file that is invisible remotely will cause a local one to vanish too. Thus your carefully worked out backup policy disappears in a puff of smoke. For a safe backup I would recommend using the drive in its USB mode. But mine refuses to behave as a USB drive any more. :-( Someone commented on lots of files not appearing over the LAN even though they are there really, eg, via FTP.

The only problem I am having is the drive periodically locks up and will not respond at all even when I try to log in using http:\storage in the normal way. It's as though it's simply not there at all. When this happens I simply power off at the switch, count slowly to three and then switch back on. After five or so seconds it's fine again. Once it's reliable I want to move a 30Mb Access database over to it but I daren't do this until this problem is resolved as everyone uses the database all day every day. Any suggestions?

I got the PC to recognise it by setting the HD jumper to MASTER, not CABLE SELECT as I initially had it (thanks to a tip on another website!). Works like a dream now. Not tremendously fast on the LAN, but fast enough to play music over my Homeplug network, which along with data storage was all I wanted. Bargain!

I have one of these running ok since about one week. It is connected to my Netgear router, and I am using it as a SMB server. The problem is I cannot put a folder password. I go to "SMB server page", and on the right pane, I highlight the folder I want to put a password to. Then, I click on "Password" button, and set a password. But, when I access the folder from a PC over the lan, there is no password prompt, and I can access the folder without the password. Is there something I am missing. Also, my Mobile Disk does not remember the time setting. When I leave it "off" sometime, the time is wrong when I turn it on. This morning, it does not even remember the login password I had set. It is back to the default password. My firmware version is NAS-BASIC45, LOADER 67. Maybe I can try another version? Can someone give me advice? Hi, I came across this page by chance.

I can even access it on my xbox through my PC (when its connected by USB) Just can't cut out the PC and access it directly through my xbox (which is why I bought it). Any ideas Gertrude?
