Hi,
can you install Windows 2008 on a Ultra4 Ready Nas, replacing the Linux OS.
I saw this...hence the question

- mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee RetiredNo you cannot replace RAIDiator with a 3rd party OS e.g. Windows. Any damage from attempting to do this would void the warranty.
I noticed a ReadyNAS bundled with OEM Windows Server a while back too. I was surprised that Newegg offered such a bundle.
Anyway the NV+ v2 (RND4000-200) is ARM which isn't compatible with Windows. - samukAspirantokay thanks..perhaps newegg offer the Windows licence to install on a server and NAS for storage.
- mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee RetiredIf that was the case then they should have bundled it with the server. OEM software is only licensed to be sold with new hardware that it is compatible with.
