Help readynas duo v2 setup problems
ok guys hope somone can help.
I purchased a readynas duo v2 with no hdds :) anyways after finally finding out that i needed a factory reset to get the thing to boot and install hdds i seem to be having problems.
OK I have one 2tb hdd bay 1 and one 1tb bay two.
I setup as raid0 as i wanted two seperate disks. The process complete and im gotinto the dash but the system is only showing the 2tb drive as setup !!! any ideas why this is as both disks check out as compatabile and are registered in the readynas as ok.
Anyways problem number 2.
Im in the dash I goto configure and along to browse to see what setup i can do and all i get in the white window is READYNAS and a little icon next to it going clockwise !!! Now the drive is networked to the windows OS and i have transferred stuff over to test ?!
Can anyone help ? Im not the best at raid setups and need advise please.

- SO i decided to start with a factory reset and just install the one drive with raid 0, everything booted but again via the dashboard configure, when i goto browse its just keeps saying readynas with a icon looking like its refreshing.
I can browse the drive via RAIDar and network the drive to windows!
Can anyone help on any of the above and previouse post ? - Are you going in directly or via RAIDar? (I can't help a lot since I don't have a v2 so am unfamiliar with RAIDiator 5.3.x)

hi many thanks for the reply.
I can go in via RAIDar and vit network mapping but if i want to browse via http dashboard its just contantly saying readynas with a circle of lines that looks like its trying to refresh or access.
Ive managed to get the two drives to show up as individuals, I had to do a factry default with only one drive in first and after setup inserted the other drive which it then says "new drive detected" the said something about that it would install new drive once its finished with any other drive it is processing , which it did and now its showing as two seperate drives .
Ive notice when i first load into the dash it says "dashboard 1.0.0.224" but when i click on configure is says dashboard version 1.0.0.168R and when I click on the browse TAB withing the dashboard it still does not show anything other than "readynas (with rotating widget)"- "i first load into the dash it says "dashboard 1.0.0.224" but when i click on configure is says dashboard version 1.0.0.168R", please clear your browser's cache, you dashboard should be 1.0.0.224, it is latest version.

many thanks that has solved that problem :)
both drives now show up and i have now set share folders so i can network map correctly to my computer and NFS share and DLNAshare with other devices :)
I seem to be getting good speeds :) a steady 40MBs , Highs of 44MBs , and the odd low of 39MBs :), way better than the sharecentere I had to send back because of the attrocious speeds.
Anyway thanks for the help its much appreciated :)
