Another brick GoFlex Home

[wheld]

Hello everybody,
first of all: thank you very much for this forum.
I was playing around with my GoFlex Home 3TB looks like I bricked it while I was trying to change the partition.

I tried to reboot it from a stick - the archlinux and the original firmwar one - doesn't work.
It just blinks green rapidly.

I shouldn't have done this, but I did this:

Final checks complete. About to write GPT data. THIS WILL OVERWRITE EXISTING
PARTITIONS!!

Do you want to proceed? (Y/N): Y
OK; writing new GUID partition table (GPT) to /dev/sda.
Warning: The kernel is still using the old partition table.
The new table will be used at the next reboot.
The operation has completed successfully.

You didn't brick it, you just removed all partitions so it's got nothing to boot from.
Here's hot to get 3TB to work: viewtopic.php?f=18&t=2611&start=30#p14953
You should probably read the thread to understand the post.

You can take the drive out of enclosure and connect it to a PC: it's just a sata drive.
Or make a USB stick and boot from it so that you can modify the drive.

And, if you dont have a linux box....Just write this to a flash drive using dd (OSX) or http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/ in windows

http://us.mirror.archlinuxarm.org/os/ar ... Rescue.zip Of course unzip it first.

Thanks a lot, guys.
It worked and I could install alarm.

Very helpful forum, thanks!
