HOW I WAS WRONG
my question is now i revert back to Radar 4.2.31 will get my dat back??????
The working OS on a ReadyNAS has always been on the drives, not in flash. The flash contains a boot loader, the boot menu options, and a clean version of the OS for installation onto the drives. OS6 uses a different OS partition size and volume format, so the NAS must factory default with OS6. Thus, the drives were completely reformatted and re-sync'ed as BTRFS instead of the EXT format used by OS 4.2.x, and with different sized partitions. It is highly unlikely there is any way you can get anything back from those drives. But you can test ReclaiMe for free, so it's worth a try.
