Can I reuse my NAS Duo disks in my PC
Hello. I have a Netgear NAS Duo V1 with two 1Gb drives installed. I'm going to change these soon for Two 2 Gb drives as I'm running out of disk space. :( I would like to reuse the 1Gb drives ...
With Windows 7 or Vista you would click on the windows button on the lower right, right-click on "computer" and select "manage" That will open up a computer management app.
You'll see disk management near the bottom of the left pane. Click on that. You will see the disks listed, and the one from the NAS will have an unrecognized format and no drive letter. You can right-click on the disk space area, and there are several options listed there. If "format" is one of them, use it. You might need to initialize the disk to see that though.
