New HDDs in Sharespare don't work

Options

‎06-08-2012 10:18 PM

Hi,

 

I removed all my hard drives from my WD Sharespace, formatted them to use elsewhere. Now I wanted to use the WD Sharespace again but it keeps showing a yellow LED for any drive I plug in. (I am using Seagate 500GB ones)

 

Is there anyway to initialise the drives so the WD Sharespace will recognise them?

 

Thanks,

Alex

Hmm, does anyone have an image of their out of box sharespare drives? I have heard of others have restored the image to new drives without issues.
