After Formatting HD System is Useless

Post by DataJunkie »

Even though I had the system set to "Overwrite" when HDD was full, the system would not do it. I started getting beeps and millions of emails. After asking here, I decided to form the hard disk.

Now the system is practically useless. I cannot reliably connect to the web UI either from the LAN or the WAN. Sometimes it works, most of the time it doesn't.

I plugged in a keyboard, mouse and monitor to the device. It does appear that it is randomly rebooting. It happened once when I was viewing the quad view, the screen went out, a long beep and nothing. It also happened when I tried to enter in my password. Long beep, nothing.

When I go to the System tab, I get this screen. Am I reading this correctly? It seems there is no HDD, yet there is a disk error and the disk is also out of space??

This is an image of the screen (I cannot upload images here for the life of me):
