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 ...

... You still need to use the Linux command line,
FWIW, when I talked about ssh in this thread, I was really focused on the linux command line.
On related subject, have you ever installed WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux)? It looks like that should also be an alternative to using a generic linux VM on the PC. It's on my "to do" list to explore, but I haven't gotten to it yet.
Hi Stephen, Sandshark,
I tried a new power adapter but that didn't make any difference.
Stephen in Option 3 post 24 you suggested
Try a USB recovery with the new disk in place, in hopes that it will fix the reset button problem. If that works, then try tech support mode.
Or should I try the method highlighted by Sandshark and mount in a virtual NAS?
Many thanks.

If you can create images of the drives on your PC, then Sandshark's method would be the safest path - because you would be leaving the drives themselves intact. So even if you made a mistake, you wouldn't be risking your data.
After the data is offloaded, we can shift back to the reset issue.

FWIW, I was thinking that might resolve the ATA errors. But I did not expect the volume to mount, as the RAID is almost certainly out of sync. If you send me a fresh set of logs, I can see if the ATA errors are still happening with the new adapter.
Hi,
<<<<<FWIW, I was thinking that might resolve the ATA errors. But I did not expect the volume to mount, as the RAID is almost certainly out of sync. If you send me a fresh set of logs, I can see if the ATA errors are still happening with the new adapter>>>>
Just tried to get a fresh set of logs but RAIDar didn't find the NAS for some reason. I may give that a go again later, although I did get a alert from my Gmail which said:
'Detected increasing ATA error count: [52] on disk 2 (Internal) [TOSHIBA DT01ACA100, 54NW90MNS] 14 times in the past 30 days. This condition often indicates an impending failure. Be prepared to replace this disk to maintain data redundancy.'
So maybe the new adaptor didn't help?
