Hi All.
I'm not sure that this is the correct place to post a question regarding an
IOMAGA NAS410M, but it's th eonly Iomega group that I have found. If it
isn't & there is another more appropriate group, please let me know.
Now on to my problem. I have a NAS 410M that seems to be booting up and then
freezing. All the drive lights will run for a long time and then it goes
quier visually meaning that the lights don't sugges that booting hasn't
completed, but when I try to manually access the unit with a keyboard and
monitor attached, I see that the Windows 2000 screen is stil there and the
progress bar appears frozen. I am told that some units won't boot to a fully
accessible OS like others, but then th eNAS discovery tool doesn't find it
on the network either. There is an OS recovery option available on boot but
this fails to yield any results. I am wondering what can be done to reset
the unit to factory defaults or how I can make it useable.
Thanks.

Got this from the Iomega website.

Question Why does the Iomega® NAS Windows® startup screen lock up
during boot?

Answer

This is by design. Your operating system is working properly. Iomega
NAS servers running Windows® 2000 Server or Server 2003 are designed
as "headless" network storage appliances. They are intended to be
managed and configured remotely over the network using either the web
based management console or Terminal Server/Remote Desktop Client
software.

1. For more information about connecting to the NAS using Remote
Desktop Connection go to Answer ID 426

The video connector located on the back of the NAS unit is only used
for BIOS configuration (which you normally do not need to modify) and
troubleshooting purposes.

How do I use Terminal Service or Remote Desktop Connection to connect
to my Iomega NAS server?
Answer

Microsoft® provides Remote Desktop Connection client (also known as
Terminal Services client) software that can be used to administer
Iomega® NAS servers. Follow the steps outlined below to use the
Terminal Service client.

Note: Most computers with Windows XP already have the Remote Desktop
Connection software pre-installed. Go to Start, Programs, Accessories,
Communications, and select Remote Desktop Connection.

STEP ONE - Download and install the Remote Desktop Connection client

1. Download the Remote Desktop Client to your desktop.

Mac OS X users: Download Remote Desktop Connection Client for
Mac OS X
2. Double-click the downloaded file and follow the installation
wizard.

3. You may have to restart the computer after installing.

STEP TWO - Log in to the NAS using Remote Desktop Connection

1. Open the Remote Desktop Connection client.

2. Type in the IP Address or Name of the NAS unit and click Connect.

3. Enter the User name and password used to log into the NAS.

You will now be running the Iomega NAS Microsoft Windows Server
desktop remotely from your computer. You can now configure and manage
your NAS as you would any other Windows based server.
