hi
is there a way to get the required software needed to start again with beomaster5.
my hard drive crashed and cant get any data and dont have any backup
As I understand it, a disk must be "married" to the motherboard, and this requires software that is not generally available to the public. You might get lucky, and someone on the forum can share it. Years ago, I had a copy that was shared with me, but I lost track of it.
Most do a straight full (block for block) disk copy which copies the "marriage" information as well as the music data, but this requires a working disk that was married to your device. Is there any chance you could have your disk recovered by a company that specializes in these things? Typically, not much data is lost when a disk crashes (assuming it's a mechanical failure of the disk, and not drowning or beat with a hammer or power tool), but you need specialized tools to extract the data.
hi stan
thanks for the advice - did a drive clone which took many hours and then was able to run the recovery and it was able to set up again - have managed to get the unit working ok but everytime i try to check the network settings it keeps crashing and restarting but otherwise is working well.
also have managed to locate all the software to be able to sort from scratch so hope for the future issues
Hi. What type of hdd should I look for if I wish to replace my burnt 1 tb ? Do I have to look for identical specs? Tks
i just used used a wd 2tb drive and repartitioned the software
Thanks. Is there any particular model i should get?
Can I just get any wd 1/2gb or is there a specific spec I should be aware of? Thanks
Here's an original Beomaster 5 HDD for sale on ebay Germany: https://www.ebay.de/itm/265168581949?hash=item3dbd47753d:g:zkMAAOSwl-xgqMV4Maybe that helps.
Appreciate that
as the original HDDs are maried to the mainboard, I do not think a original one from ebay will do the job.
hi all
the hard drives are not maried to the mainboard as i have used a new 2tb wd drive - had to set up and repartition the drive after using the recovery software on the drive.
also have set up a brand new 1Tb hard drive as a spare which is a seagate drive so if crashes again i can just replace my drive. had it fitted and set up and tested so it definately works.
