The thing is the firebox is like a firewal apperatus. It has nothing
to do with the computer it is its own machine you could say. What
hapened was that the hard drive inside it crashed meaning that it is
fryed gone. It does not run on windows or anything it has its own
operating system. I am trying to figure out how or where I can get the
info to configure the new drive. I have to get the hole operating
system from somewere but I dont know where I can find this. As I said
before I dont have the money to spend to get another years woranty so
I am trying to see if there is another way.
