Hello All
I want to apologize for any and all ignorance that the substance of this message might convey as I don't follow this forum religiously even though I should. A QUICK perusal of the topics here does not reveal anyone else with a problem that seems to similar to the one I have. I ask for your patience and understanding. :)
Now....
I have a rather substantial home network 6 or so PC's all running XP. All the PC's and the -323 are on a gigabit ethernet switch. One of the PC's is an XP Media Center that accesses videos, music and photos from the -323. Generally I haven't noticed a problem with the XP Media Center...
To wit...
Recently, I updated my notebook AND my desktop to Windows 7 RC.
The issue i am running into is this...
I have over 80GB of music contained on one of the drives in my -323. When I set the Media Player within the desktop's machine to use that folder on the -323 as a music library, it doesn't find ALL the music that the folder contains. Several folders go undetected. I have tried this on BOTH machines running Windows 7 RC, and have the SAME result.
My -323 is running v1.06....(incidentally I see many people speaking of 1.07 but dlink's website only shows 1.06, I am nervous about trying the beta 1.08 because i have so much media on my -323)...
Is there some difference between the way XP and Vista/RC 7 work that I am not privy to?
Can anyone shine a light on this for me?
Thanks so much.

What are you nervous about?
-
I have over 500 GB's of video, music and photo data that I consider irreplaceable.
If a piece of BETA firmware were to somehow jeopardize that data....I would be 'extremely put out'. ;)

Storing anything irreplaceable without a separate backup is asking for trouble. You will get burned eventually.

Thanks for the tip. ::)
Any other revelations of stunning obviousness you'd care to share?
I have a tape backups of the data in question. However, recovering from them would require lots of time & work. The tedious process of recovering that data from said tape that is what I am trying to avoid vis a vis my ambivalence about installing beta firmware.

Where have you been downloading your firmware from that you do not see 1.07?
Here is a link to the US support website You may want to try the official US firmware if you got it on another website.

If you go here....

Entering from the general d-link website, you don't see v1.07

Oh I see that is the sales website you would need to goto Technical support from there. Please try the link I provided. The 1.07 does not really provide anything but support for 1TB Hitachi Hard drives.
