Re install OS to old legacy Readynas Pro with OS 6
Hi, I manage to mesh up my old ReadyNas Pro (currently OS 6). It won't done completely boot and freeze to some % of booting. Boot % value change each booting attempt. Last time it was 98%. B...
Thanks for the answer.
Root was full but I mange to clean it up a little already earlier. I think firmware files on device has been corrupted during all my attempts or some other reason.
USB recovery with OS4.2 tool is not working because it seems to be so old that it won't work in my WIN10 laptop. Error was some "like-to-like" and exe file won't start. I try compatible mode but no help. I also try to install some MS components but no luck there.
So next thing was trying to log in with Tech Mode and that I manage to do. Before doing anything I remove all my disks and put one old disk in to device. I assuming that firmware files are in devices flash memory (not in disk and I could be wrong). I also download OS6 firmware and using binwalk I create tar file from it.
Then I try to drop it to flash memory but didn't understand how to do it. I can connect USB stick to device in tech mode. Any instruction how to copy all needed firmware files to correct place in device?
After that I plan to do OS reinstall.

Did you run the exe as admin?
Yes I did run it as adminstrator.
Problem with USB recovery tools was missing visio components. I install some old packets and manage to create USB recovery stick with OS 6 image.
