Recovering the TeraStation

Creating a Recovery Drive

A recovery drive can let you recover your TeraStation even if it will not boot at all. It lets you completely reinstall the

operating system. While your TeraStation is working perfectly, create a recovery drive in case something goes wrong

later. Follow the steps below to create a recovery drive for the TeraStation.

Note: Although making the recovery drive as described below will not effect your settings or data, if you ever have

to use it to recover the TeraStation, all data and settings from the TeraStation will be erased. Back up your data and

confirmation number and click OK. The TeraStation will create the recovery drive. This will take about a minute.

5 When the “finished” dialog opens, the USB recovery drive is ready to use. Dismount the USB drive before

unplugging it. See “Dismounting Drives” in chapter 4 for the instruction to dismount your USB drive.

Note: If your TeraStation will not boot, it’s too late to create the recovery drive from within its software! Instead,

download the recovery image from www.buffalotech.com and use disk image software such as dd or Win32 Disk

Imager to image a 1 GB or larger USB flash drive with the downloaded file.

Recovering the TeraStation

If your TeraStation will not boot at all, you can completely reinstall the operating system.

Warning:

Recovering the TeraStation will erase all data and settings from the TeraStation. Back up your data and settings regularly!
