Mode” message box displays, informing you that the conversion will take a few hours,
depending on the amount of data contained on your drives), that you cannot undo the
process once it starts, and that you shouldn’t unplug the unit while the conversion is
taking place. Conversion rates depend on the type of configuration and the amount of
data on the My Book Live Duo. After a conversion, the My Book Live Duo device
reboots.
If a “Disk Space Insufficient” appears, you don’t have enough room left on the drives for
maximum protection. Remove (delete or copy elsewhere) files until the stored total is less
than 1 Tb (for a 2 TB drive).
Note: The actual required stored total depends on the My Book Live Duo drive size.
3. The drive starts the rebuild process automatically. The rebuild may take up to 15 hours

4. Once the rebuild is complete, the LEDs will glow steadily to indicate power-on state.
