This FTP server is divided into three major sections:

1. images - contains OS images based upon manufacturer and model number
2. manuals - contains soft copies of manuals that came with your unit.
3. utils - misc utils including versions of RTVPatch and maxtor utilities.

Go to the images folder, then to the specific manufacturer of your unit, then to the model series.
Download the zip image file that you want to use.
Installation instructions and mirroring software are included inside the zip file.
