Can you try first running CMD and then entering
net use * /delete
It that doesn't help, try running the windows credential manager and deleting any credentials for the NAS. Then try entering a new credential, using a user account/password that is on the NAS.

Thanks, before I do, will this delete any of my data?

Hi Stephen,
I ran the cmd command succesfully (although the two mapped drives still show up in my file explorer). I still get the same error is I try to access the nasdrive via "\\SERVERNAME"
I also looked in the Windows Credentials and there is no mention of Readynas, the only entries I have in there are for Windows Live.

restarting my PC removed the old mapped drives from my windows explorere however the same error persists if I try to access the readynas from file explorer. The drive still appears healthy via RAIDar.

Try running cmd again and entering
net use * /delete
net use t: \\192.168.0.15\data /user:admin nas-admin-password
That should mount the NAS data volume as drive letter t. Use the real admin password of course.
Though you don't have NAS credentials in the windows credentials manager now, try adding them.
