ReadyCloud won't discover new ReadyNAS 102
Hello, I got a new ReadyNAS 102 2-Bay, Diskless RN10200 out of the box yesterday (and put in a third party HDD). So far everything seems is working fine except I am having problems with ReadyClou...
Hi I had issues setting my 102 up in the beginning. I purchased a WD 4TB NAS Hard drive for it and I could not get Net-gear Admin page to open no matter what I tried. I checked the IP address of the NAS and could see it under windows but I could not access the webpage. I tried forums and Google but to no avail.
I eventually after a frustrating hour and a half pulled out eh hard drive and connected it to a spare external hard drive slot and went into Control Panel/Administrative Tools/ Computer Management/ Disk Management. Under the disk management I found the drive I connected and right clicked and selected "Delete Volume". It deletes all file-systems and leaves the drive blank. I re-inserted it into my NAS 102 and successfully gained access to the admin site. It seams the ReadyNAS can only read HDD's which are empty of any file-system. I am not sure if this applies to double or quad bays only as they are running RAID and not single bays but worth a try.
By the way, I have had no issues since and even added a second HDD the same way.
