ReadyNAS Ultra 4 - cannot get it boot, have tried almost everything
I've got a ReadyNAS Ultra4 (RND4000) that used to work. Won't boot now after an attempt to factory reset. To date I have tried: 1. Factory Restore 2. OS Reinstall 3. USB Recovery (3 different...
Have you tried a factory install using just one disk?
I tried that, but I didn't wipe the disk first. I'll give that a try and see what happens, after wiping the disk first.
This has been tried now, and it still rolls back to the display reading "Booting ..." forever again.
Does RAIDar see the NAS? And if so, what status does it show?
USB recovery does seem the right step. Legacy NAS are very particular about the USB drives that will work for that.
Raidar sees it when I first hit the setup and specify the storage array type. Then it goes through and does its thing and reboots and never moves past the "Booting ..." screen.
I've tried USB recovery with three different drives, never works. What should I be looking for as a drive? I've tried a 2GB USB 2.0, and 8 and 16BG USB3 drives from two different manufacturers. All formatted FAT32.
