Removed drives, reinstalled and keeps wanting to wipe the drives
Hi I have a very old ReadyNas Duo. I removed a 4TB drive from another RN102 drive as I stupidly installed a new 8TB drive without realising it would only format to 4TB as I had a 4TB drive in...
thanks for the reply
Unfortunately I only have macs in the house, anything on the mac I can use, i'll go grab a USB dock for the drive tomorrow.
Thanks

I don't own a Mac, so I can't offer much advice. You could try this, but it is not free: https://www.r-studio.com/data_recovery_macintosh/
You can download it for free though, and see if it finds your data before you purchase. So you could
- confirm that R-Studio sees your data (w/o purchase)
- see if the Duo boots ok with the remaining disk
- purchase R-Studio only if it doesn't.
