I'm trying to upgrade hard drives in my LS-Pro v1 by following in the

upgrade instructions at nas-central

(http://buffalo.nas-central.org/index.php/Upgrade_(or_replace)_the_existing_Link\

Station_hard_drive#New_Generation_-_LSPro.2CLSLive)



I'm running into a problem where the Linkstation can boot up, but most

of the storage is identified as "unformatted disk" and cannot be

formatted.



I am upgrading the 250GB drive to a 640GB drive.



Using Ghost, I have duplicated the first several partitions across

from the old 250 to the 640.  Because it's Ghost, I am not sure what

the partitions are, but I have copied:

First partition: 186M

Second partition: 486MB

3rd partition:  Swap file (can't remember the size, but it is several

hundred MB)



With the new 640GB drive in the LS-Pro, the device boots up and I can

access the GUI management interface.  Everything looks fine except

that the unsed space is reported as "unformatted disk" and I can't

format it via the GUI.



I have tried flashing to new stock firmware after the 640GB drive is

installed, but because the Linkstation is already running the current

stock Buffalo 1.11 firmware, the updater can't find a valid device to

update.  At this stage, I'd prefer to avoid alternative firmwares such

as jtymod in case I stuff things up even further.



Any idea what to do?
