ReadyNAS NV+ version 1 stuck on boot screen
Hello, love my ReadyNas NV+ version 1 for many many years. This morning it is stuck on boot. Running Xraid and memory maxed out. Unit boots up fine and the LCD display on the unit shows: ...
Yes speed is one thing, but really I like fiddling with technology and the NAS is one of those areas I like. I use it for music delivery to wifi speakers and file/photo central storage. In reality, no one in my family is complaining about speed, but it's a convenient excuse :smileywink:.
Hi Stephen and gang,
I found a NetGear ReadyNas NV+ RND4000-100NAS. Would the 4 disks from my ReadNas NV+ RND4210-100NAS work on that unit? (RND 4400 vs RND4210). I think that would make them box v1 boxes.
Next question, if I buy an empty ReadyNas which is the same version do I just put in the disks and boot it up or should I restore my config file before putting int the drives? I have a fairly recent config file with my shares and users.
Thanks again!

Yes. the 4210 model is a 4000 that shipped with one 2 TB drive preinstalled.

You can't install the config w/o drives, because the config is only saved on the drives.
It is wise to install a scratch disk on the replacement NAS first, and manually install the same firmware version you were running before. Then powerdown, install the old drives in the proper slots, and power up.
