Readynad duo v2 root danneggiata e disk failure
Buon giorno a tutti , posseggo questo nas da parecchio tempo , circa 2 settimane fà ha smesso di funzionare , emetteva un suono ciclico costante metallico , tipico degli hard disk tralaltro , uno dei...
I mark this discussion as resolved because while waiting for the SATA/USB adapter I tried to install the new disks and the NAS does nothing, it is not possible to access the web interface, I tried to perform the reset, but nothing has changed, so the NAS is dead and I just have to recover the data as you described with Linux, so this discussion is to be considered closed, or resolved, I thank everyone for the time you have dedicated to me, I thank you and I wish you many beautiful things, not only in this world where however you are very good and competent, thanks again for everything, "Ciao", Marco from Padua, Italy.
Do you think it could still be a V2 or V1?
The Duo V1
- says ReadyNAS Duo on the front panel
- runs 4.1.x firmware
The Duo v2
- says ReadyNAS Duo v2 on the front panel
- runs 5.3.x firmware.
So, what should I do?
Start by removing the Red Plus, and see if you can boot the system with only the old (working) drive installed. You can leave it in its original slot.
If the system boots ok (showing a degraded volume), then you should immediately make a backup of the data on the NAS.
If the system does NOT boot, then you could try installing R-Linux for Windows on a PC (Freeware), and connect the old working disk to the PC using either SATA or a USB adapter/dock. If R-Linux finds your files, then use it to copy off your data.
Make sure you click "for windows" at the top right of the download page:

I would like to point out that I have no way of accessing the web page,
Were you able to access it before the disk failed???
The Duo V1
says ReadyNAS Duo on the front panel
runs 4.1.x firmware
The Duo v2
says ReadyNAS Duo v2 on the front panel
runs 5.3.x firmware.
There is no wording about the firmware on the front panel, do I need to open it and look inside?

no, with only the old disk working it is not possible to access it, I will have to do as you say, download linux, get the bluetooth adapter (I'm missing it) and do as you say

Let's say it worked, but in fact it's been a long time since I used the web interface so I don't know if it worked, but logically it worked until the end, I went away on holiday for 5 days and during this period it broke, so I think it worked, anyway thanks again, I will do as you said and move forward with the various phases, even if the v1-v2 issue remains

No, I was just giving you two ways to tell.
Just see if the front panel shows ReadyNAS Duo v2 (or just ReadyNAS Duo).
bluetooth adapter
USB-SATA adapter or dock.
The one-bay version of this will work:
(I have the two-bay version myself).
Thanks, so yes on the front panel it says v2 and I ordered an adapter similar to the one you recommended, so for now thanks everyone, I will try to do everything you recommended, thank you all very much.
