Were the disks you put in the NAS formatted?
Have you tried a factory default?
- Hi there
Yes I have done a format and an OS install. Still didnt work. Currently running a zero format on both drives. Then do I run an OS install when they are done?

You don't want to boot with disks formatted on a non-ReadyNAS system. If you did that, you will see a corrupt root error, and an OS-reinstall will not help.
If you install blank or zeroed disks, then the NAS will automatically do a factory install when you power up (and will format the disks). Similarly if you do the factory default procedure from the boot menu, the system will do a factory install. Either way, there is no need to follow up with an OS reinstall.
Rules for disk replacement (hot-swapping) are a bit different. With OS 4.2.x systems (shipped OS on the 2100), hot-inserting a disk will format it and add it to the array. OS-6 changed that policy - an OS-6 system requires that you manually format before it will add an already-formatted disk to the array.
