Can I read a readynas drive on my PC?
Hi, I have a readynas 104 with 4 x 1tb drives inside. I have been having problems with booting the readynas after getting a no ip address error which I couldn't resolve. Is there any way ...

I agree with StephenB that the Ethernet hardware is likely working. But since you can't boot, it is possible the issue is with the OS. Try removing all the drives (labeling them if you pull them all the way out so you can put them back in the same order) and see if it then gets an IP address. If it does, the problem is with the OS on the NAS.

Hi All
Just trying a reboot and it went quickly to 42% but has stalled there for the last 45 mins. Should I wait longer or try rebooting again?
Many thanks.

I would try booting the NAS in read-only mode. If that works, then the next step would be to make a backup.

Thank you, I will try and boot in read only.

Hi,
The NAS rebooted in normal mode but now shows the following in the admin dashboard:
remove inactive volumes to read the disk# 1,2,3,4 (With 4 red disks in the volumes tab)
Reading another thread it seems the log files may help.....
I have downloaded the log file and have uploaded to here:

Many thanks for your help. 🙂
