I just bought a Coolmax CN-330. It's a really neat little unit. However I'm having a bit of trouble.
I can get it up and running on the LAN - no problem. Works great.
I'm having trouble getting it to act as an external hard drive connected via USB to a Windows PC. When I format the hard drive using the web-based configuration tools it creates three partitions on the drive. Those partitions are un-named. Then, when I go into the Disk Management applet after the NAS unit is connected via USB, I'm not able to assign a drive letter to a partition. The Disk Management won't let me do anything with any of those three partitions.
Coolmax support says I need to name the partitions, apparently through the mgmt tool, but I see no way to do this.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? While Coolmax Support has been good at responding to my messages, the content of the responses are pretty cryptic.
Thanks.
Jim
