Corrupt root ReadyNAS Ultra 2

Corrupt root ReadyNAS Ultra 2

I have Tried to factory reset the NAS via boot meny and OS reinstall and Format the disk in windows still same problem corrupt root. 

 

  • If the disks are blank, then the Ultra should be doing a factory install - partitioning them, etc. 

     

    Perhaps try zeroing one of the disks again with Seatools, and then power up the Ultra with that disk in slot 1 (leaving slot 2 empty).  If that works, then hot-insert disk 2.

      Try unformatting the disk in Windows (open the Windows disk manager and delete every "volume" on the drive).

       

      Or zero it using WD's Lifeguard program or Seagate's Seatools.
