RN 102 corrupt root
Hi there, I had two good RN 102 systems working (6.2.2). After a reboot of one of them, I could not reach that box from the readycloud. Intranet still worked. I tried to install an upgrade hoping that would fix the problem. So I tried 6.3.3. While the update was OK, the readycloud was still not working. I unchecked "readycloud" and rechecked it in the setting. Voila! it worked. Duhhh, should have done that with the 6.2.2... After working fine for a day, the box disappeared from the intranet. I read somewhere that going back to 6.2.3 was possible. After restart, when I was able to see the box again, I installed the upgrade 6.2.3. Now, I am screwed.
Blinking start button.
RAIDar tells me corrupt root.
Here is what I tried (unsuccessfully):
OS reinstall
Factory reset
New harddrive (with zero partition on it)
New harddrive (with zero partition on it) in other RN 102, installed the 6.2.2 on it, initialized it then transferred that drive to broken box - nothing
It can boot into telnet.
Can I make a bootable USB? Thank for your help,

- Run an Extended test on the WD Green 2TB drive/s using the WD Data Lifeguard Diagnostics to check if the drive/s are healthy: http://support.wdc.com/product/download ... =612&sid=3
- Ixa: Factory reset is:
1. power Plug in
2. hold reset (in the back) while pressing the power button. (5 to 6 sec) until all leds int the front are on
3. presses the backup button (front low) twice (only the LED for HD 1 will light)
4. Press setup (in the back) again.
HD are WD green 2 TB - How did you perform the factory reset on your RN102?
What is the capacity, brand and model of the drive/s being used in your RN102?
