ReadyNAS 2100 does not detect any disks after firmware upgrade

Hey guys, I recently did a firmware upgrade on a ReadyNAS 2100v2 from 4.2 to 6.10.8. When I connect to the device through my browser it now tells me that it's not detecting any disks. T...

Did you do the factory default that's needed after the conversion?

You are certain your 2100 is a V2? I don't think you'll even get that far if you install OS6 on a V1, but I'm not sure.

Assuming your 2100 is a V2, you should be able to go back to OS4.2.31 with a USB recovery. It might work on a V1, too (have heard mixed results).

I never saw your original post show up as an unread one, so others may also not have seen it. Your response did, which is why I have now responded. So give it a bit more time to see if anyone else has a recommendation.

Wow.... NOBODY? I guess I'm SOL then.

This NAS is useless now. Is there a way I can get the OS back to 4.2.31?

Before I attempted the upgrade I read on these forums that v1 would fail and brick the NAS if you attempted it. So I made sure to check my model in the system menu and it indeed said "ReadyNAS 2100 v2 [X-RAID2]"

I didn't get any error, or failure messages during the upgrade. I thought everything went well until I login and see no disks.
