Shut down the DS-101, disconnect the Harddisk and connect a spare HDD.
Run DSAssistant? to reinstall the box with any settings you like. Enable Telnet and log in to your newly-setup DS-101. now connect your original Harddisk with an external USB Casing to the DS-101, it will show up as /volumeUSB1 . You can now either copy the original Files (like synoinfo.conf in my case) back into the original /etc directory (cp /etc/synoinfo.conf /volumeUSB1/etc/synoinfo.conf) or mount the original data partition:
