ReadyNAs NV+v2 - does Factory Reset on every boot
I acquired a ReadyNAS NV+ V2 and placed an old 1TB Windows drive into bay 4 and performed a Factory Reset to setup the disk up.. All went well but now every time the NAS is powered on it boots to Fac...
Are you sure the disk is locked, and not simply failed?
The disk passes the disk check test from the NAS... I would expect if there were a problem the NAS would show BAD Disk as I tried a known bad disk that fails in Windows...
Is there a way to check if it has been locked as I can't access it with Windows either..
I know disks can be unlocked according to the fix in the below link, the user mdgm-ntgr resolved the issue.

You of course can try to unlock.
The linux command requires that hdparm be installed.
hdparm --security-unlock NETGEAR /dev/sdX
Substituting the real drive letter for sdX. You need to either be logged in as root, or use sudo in front of the command.
Hi.
I have connected the disk in a USB docking station to a Raspberry Pi 2 and unable to mount the drive.
I used command 'sudo disk -l' and 'lsusb' and the disk does not show as a sdxx device.
It seems the disk is just unreadable in both Windows and Linux.
I'm just going to bin this disk as I don't want to waste your or my time.
Thank you for all your input.
Just as a side note I used SeaTools which shows the disk as security locked!
