746 Gb=3TB disk
I have a Netgear ReadyNAS Duo v2 (5.3.4) and hard disk WD30EZRX is reported that has a capacity of 746 gigabytes
That is odd. A factory default should have wiped the disk and set it up properly.
Did you by any chance format the disk in a PC first?
If so, what OS is that PC running (e.g. Windows XP)?
If you can hook the drive up to a PC, delete the partitions on the disk (but not format it) and then put the disk back in the NAS and do another factory default.
If using a Mac/Linux machine you can alternatively hook the disk up to that and use e.g. dd to write zeroes to the start of the disk to remove the partition table.
