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 ...

You do create a simple volume. My memory played tricks on me and I left that step out. Once you create a simple volume, you should then get the format option. The drive letter will be assigned automatically after formatting taking the next available letter. (Which is why when I map my shares, I use letter high in the alphabet). The drive will then be visible in the Computer/Windows Explorer window. (Both paths take you to virtually the same window).
