Thank you,
Something in the back of my mind suggested something like that.
I have done a complete factory reset.
There are 2 HDD's that are blank unformatted with no partitions or file system on them.
I cant remember how to set off the disk initialisation.
Can you point me at any documentation that covers that?
Note you cannot do a factory reset unless the disks are installed. Also the max disk size supported in your NAS is 2 TB.
In general, if you want to use the default XRAID (RAID-1), all you need to do is put the unformatted disks in the NAS and power it up. That will automatically do a factory install.

You have a V1, as a "true" V2 runs OS version 5.x, not the 4.1.x yours does. Netgear had already used "v2" and even "v3" to indicate small hardware revisions, then released the "V2" models, which were a complete re-design, and really muddied the used market. The login for that model is user admin and password netgear1.
