Rebuild your My Cloud or upgrade the HDD on it

Hi I’m hoping some clever person could help me… I’ve tried several times to get the mycloud up and running with a WD Red 3TB drive (and the drive proves to be fine). I get all the said partitions and everything looks correct to my untrained eye, but when I reassemble the Mycloud and plug it back in, I get a flashing blue light for about 5 seconds which then changes to a red flashing light. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
I’ve tried several virgin images all with the same result.
Please help me before I take a bat to it :cricket_bat_and_ball:
