Hi eruditusfaber,

 

Welcome to the community!

 

Before you follow StephenB's suggestion, try to boot up your unit without drives (mark/label them once you remove them) and check if the LEDs of ReadyNAS LAN will lit up or it shows up on your network (RAIDar).

 

 

Kind regards,

    Hi BrianL,

     

    When i boot up NAS without drive (i've got one) the power LED blinks (only this one in frone) and LAN LEDs are still off. And also i can't find it with RAIDar.

     

    Any other ideas? 

     

    I have only one compatible HDD and i have some data on it so i have to wait with factory reset untill i get new HDD.

     

    Best regards and thanks for any help,

    Simon.

      Hi eruditusfaber,

       

      Does the data on your ReadyNAS important? Also, do you have a backup of it? Well, you can try to access it's boot menu and see if the unit can be set in telnet (techsupport) mode. If that won't work, the last thing you can try is to perform USB boot recovery.

       

       

      Kind regards,

        Data on my HDD, not on ReadyNAS, yes? I've bought NAS without HDD i wanted to put inside my own HDD and like i said before there are files on it that are important so i have to wait for new clean HDD to try new things that require HDD inside NAS. I've old 320 GB Smasung HDD, but it's not on the Netgear list of comatible HDDs. 

         

        I understand that to access boot menu and set telenet or perform USB boot recovery i need to hava at least one HDD inside the NAS, yes?

         

        Best regards,

        Simon.
