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.

Hi StephenB Thanks for reply, Tryied that just now and Its the same problem still "Currupt root" in RAIDar

If you boot up the system diskless, does RAIDar give you the normal "no disks" status?
Have you tried testing the disks with vendor tools (lifeguard or seatools)?

Boot system diskless gives me " No disk" status
Seatools dosent report any problems with the disks
