Try unformatting the hard drive in the PC (use windows disk manager, and delete all the volumes). Alternatively, zero the disk with the vendor tools (lifeguard for western digital, seatools for seagate).
Then boot up the NAS with the disk inserted.
I suspect that you intended for all of the data on that drive to be available on the NAS, which is not what would have happened. If so, you are lucky that nothing happened. A NAS is not at all the same thing as a case for drives, like for USB. It's a LINUX based server, and it needs to format it's disks in a LINUX compatible way.
The NAS will not operate without any drives installed. You need to install at least one drive and perform a factory default. Note, again, that everything on that drive will be erased.
