..., and reinstall TOS 5.1.
I have read through the various threads and guides but am really not sure how to properly do the re-install with TOS 5.1.
Also, can you confirm this will result in a larger (8 GB) system partition?
Can you please point me to the correct guide?
Thanks!
You need to backup all your data.
Remove the drives from the NAS, connect to a PC and in my case used Windows Drive Manager to delete all partitions on all drives.
*** THIS WIPES ALL DATA FROM YOUR DRIVES *** I warned you.
Put the drives back into the NAS.
Boot the NAS and you should get the initialization screen.
Choose "Custom" and use the 5.1 install file of choice from the downloads section for your NAS. (Not the upgrade file)
Follow the prompts and you will have a fresh NAS with 5.1 and a properly sized partition.
With the exception of a corrupted Boot USB and discovering that permissions for User Groups need to be set correctly to see directories and files. (This one was so frustrating, lost my mind till I figured it out)
