Hi Crispin, never rebuilt before, there is very little stored on it as it would not work previously with Win7 to recently, hence the reason to fire it up & use.
Hi Richard, I gave up with the 500gb disk that was fitted & have now attempted to try it with a new 250gb disk.
I check the netgear router that it had been previously working with & DHCP is turned on, it is also not showing up as an attached device. I think that is why Raidar can not find it.
