- Apr 09, 2016Just to follow up this thread. I tried a few free recovery options but they didn't work and although recovered data, due to the file storage or RAID, the movie and music files were segmented. In the end I had success with R Studio, a recommendation from Botts Thoughts. It's not a free service but it was user friendly and fast. Thanks again.

Here are the led error codes.
LED blink behavior for 2 disk systems is three quick blinks of all disk LEDs and the backup LED, followed by an 1s delay, followed by a number of slow blinks. The number of slow blinks will be the error code.
Current error codes:
1 - Vendor mismatch
2 - No disks detected
3 - Bad contents on root partition of disks
4 - Flash error
5 - Unsupported RAID configuration
XRAID is set up by default, so if you didn't set up RAID, that is what you have.
You can try using Linux Reader on disk 1 in a Windows PC ( http://www.diskinternals.com/linux-reader/ ). If you do, power down the NAS before removing the disk (and power it down before restarting). Powering up the duo with disk 1 removed might be worth a try.
You could also contact support.netgear.com and arrange for per-incident support. It's possible they can resolve the problem w/o a data recovery contract - which is quite expensive - but it is not certain.
