Thanks for the help everyone. I followed both advice, booted with an old hard drive accessed the NAS via the web interface, downloaded the latest firmware and updated. I then put my hard drives back in order and rebooted. Rebooted in good time and could see my files. Took the NAS about 24 hours to file check and sync and I now have access to everything.

Now to clean up the files and think of a plan to make sure this does not happen again.

Thanks again for the help.

The best approach is to put a backup plan in place.

Given the age of your NAS (the replacement has to be at least 7 years old), I suggest getting a new ReadyNAS model with new disks. You can then copy over the data from the NV+, and repurpose the NV+ (making it a backup NAS).
