The upgrading seemed to proceed smoothly (atleast i thought so). But during the harddrives resyncing (i have 2x1.5tb harddrives installed), when it got to around 20%, the unit suddenly turn itself off. when i tried to turn it back on again, it stuck on the ReadyNAS promt screen.

I ve tried both restarted with and without disks, always stuck at readynas prompt. Also tried reseting, but never got pass the readynas prompt.
I managed now to create the recovery flash according to this thread https://community.netgear.com/t5/ReadyNAS-Storage-Apps-Old-Legacy/USB-Recovery-4-2-Fails-to-start/m-p/1763322#M15509.
Tried 4 different usb (4, 8, 16gb) but, none worked.
