You can't simply migrate the disks, you'll need to copy the data to external storage.
Netgear's info on this is here: http://kb.netgear.com/29876/ReadyNAS-Migrating-disks-from-RAIDiator-4-1-or-RAIDiator-5-3-to-ReadyNAS-OS-6?cid=wmt_netgear_organic Some posters here have said that support will charge even you are within the 90 day support window for the RN204.
If you have a PC that you can boot up under linux (perhaps using a LiveCD or LiveUSB boot) then you can mount the drives yourself using this guide: http://home.bott.ca/webserver/?p=306
