Rebuilding 2T WD My Cloud

[Bibek_Sahi]

For USB:

1)Download GParted Downloads or SystemRescueCD as in OP.
2)Use win32DiskImager to write above image on USB. If used binary zip, no need to install on system. The program is easy to use with just browse & select image file to write, USB drive to write and pressing of write button.

You’ve new steps 17(7.2-8) which I’ve not seen on other guides. I used the guide & 2TB image by Djh816. Worked perfectly even when I deleted my HD on OMV . I think the 2TB virgin image does format HD and create partition table itself. I’ll try next time if again manage to fugde the thing as not too keen to do it after 7/8 attempts in last 3 days

Note: I’d the same problem as below using 04.01.02-417 image.

On a side note I found that if I used the original_v4.01.02-417.tar.gz from this link it would throw an error when trying to kernel.img to /dev/sdb5 because the partition at 99.6MB on my 250GB drive was too small. Turns out in the original_v4.01.02-417.tar.gz file the kernel.img file is something like 100MB or 101MB rather than 97MB in the original_v3.04.01-230.tar.gz version.

This thread will be easier to look up next time for myself. Anyway thanks for posting another guide.
