I’ve gone through many similar posts, and have not had success yet. Seems like its an external hard drive connection issue. I think we had a power outage /internet outage last night - before that I’ve been up and running for months.  
I have reflashed with both 4.6 and 4.5 to no avail. Hints? Tips? tricks?
