Hello everyone
while i was trying to install WD Sentinel DX4000 first time use the electricity went off and now everytime i try ti turn it on it’s hang at Loading OS… Please Wait, Need Help plz
just leave it on for at least 24 hours.
Go get a UPS
Do not power it off untill it loads, may take as long as 5 days some say
been like 2 days now and still loading :S
You may want to go ahead and download the recovery ISO. If you get tired of waiting you could do a server recovery.
downloading 8 GB :O, ok will do that :\
but then what is the steps of recovery ?
When you get it downloaded you mount it using whatever tools you have. For example in Win8 you can just right click and mount. MS has a tool for Win7 you can download, etc. It is almost impossible to burn a good DL DVD. Don’t waste your time and money, just mount it for free.
When mounted as a drive letter, you simply dbl click setup.exe (I think). You can try step 3 first, if it fails you will have to do step 2, then 3. The screens tell you what to do.
Basically it will make a thumb drive for you. You hold in a button on the back of the wd and it will boot from the thumb. Follow the instructions on your PC screen. In a nutshell, it is going to lay down an image from the iso on your PC to the WD box and it will end up fresh, like out of the box

I agree with Gramps on this. If power goes out during your initial setup procedure, this more than likely compromised the O/S and made incapable of reloading and starting the setup over.
