Dear Eugene,

About Synology, Note that all Synology comes with a reset button, that reset Synology Configurations to factory setting. The reason why your NAS shows configuration lost is due to re-format of configurations.

FYI, You need to re-install the NAS with the Same firmware or latest firmware. For this re-installation note following.

1. Re-installing firmware does not format the drives

2. By resetting, You already lost configurations ( Network Settings, Users profiles, Any application installed and it's setting )

3. After re-installing, creating your users afresh, network settings and applications.

NB

Backup your Synology configuration always.

Skunks,

I have the DS412+ at work and it recently got full. Started blinking orange and producing a beeping sound. I was fidgeting around with it and reset it. Reading up a bit about it, I got the Synology Web Assistant to check the two 3TB disks. All looked fine although I suspect one might have crashed. I got the 'Configuration Lost' message.

The Wizard suggested that I re-install DSM on the drives. What will be the effect of re-installing DSM? Will I loose all my data? Been looking up this information to no avail. Anyone with an idea?

Kakai
