RNDU 2000 raidar says corrupt root
I hope i am doing this right, if not please forgive me.
I have an older unit that i purshacsed some time ago. it has a lot of data that I need to access and put on back up clouds.
non ...
thank you for this explanation. i searched and searched and was not finding the info. many links that existed in documentation were dead links.
before this recent comeplete lock out. i restarted the unit a couple of times and the problem went away.
I stumbled across a reset and power button aspect. but when i press the reset button, then the power button. the unit just turns on , then off. which isn't what the directions says for getting into the menu aspect.

You might not be using the exact directions. Look on pages 14-15 here: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/RNDU2000/ReadyNAS_Ultra_UltraPlus_NVX_Pro_HW_en_8July11.pdf
Be very careful on the boot menu - the factory default is destructive, and you will lose your data if you accidently choose it. The only option there that could possibly help you is the OS reinstall - and the odds of that fixing your problem are pretty small.
I will try it again later. but was pretty sure i was doing it the way described.
-turn unit off
-press reset then power button while holding reset.
-various lights are suppose to come on
it just shuts back off . i will try again in a little bit. i do appreciate your efforts. i have been trying to figure this out for weeks now. i have since purchased a 2tb cloud account. but need to get into the hard drive to move the files. prior to this i didn't have a way to back up all of those files. there are so many.
Once you get the files off, you can zero the disk drive, and then insert it back into the NAS. It will automatically do a factory install. Then you can reconfigure it, and copy the files back.
- Ah very good. I thought the unit was toast. I paid a lot for that thing brand new.
Do you know if the hard drive kit to usb that i have will work with that software link you sent me? Just purchased a universale one.
