Are you following this procecdure?: http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/20898/~/readynas-%26-readydata%3A-boot-menu
After releasing the paperclip, you press the backup button to go through the different options then press the reset button once more to confirm your choice.
If you still can't access the boot menu can you access the boot menu if you remove your disks?

Thanks mdgm for trying to help.
Yes I followed the procedure correct. Push the Power Button with Paperclip on the reset button on the back. This gives in the screen Boot Menu. Then with still the paperclip pushed on the reset button I push the backup button 1 time the display shows: Boot Menu Normal. I push the backup button again but now the display stays the same.
When I do the procedure again without the presence of the 4 HD the outcome is the same.

Release the reset button when you are pressing/using the backup button to scroll options, once you get to the option you want press the reset button then.
As mdgm has already stated above.

thank bedlam1 for helping me.
Your advice worked well. I will make note of this releasing the reset button when the backup button is pushed. So that next time this will not become an issue again.
I want to perform a Factory default because in windows explorer I see more directories on the ReadyNAS as there are shares on it. So in ReadyNAS I have 6 Shares but in explorer I see 9. Therefor I think it would be a good idea to start fresh.
Thanks again.

A Factory Default will delete EVERYTHING from yours disks.....do you have a backup?
