Thanks

i have checked the model and it says it is RND2000 v2 on the bottom of the unit.

the RAIDar programme says that the system is corrupt boot.

i have cleared the partisions on both drives using windows disk management. and also the unit fan just runs very fast and is very loud

If you mean the bottom front, then it should say ReadyNAS Duo v2

Did you use the procedure on pages 16-17 here: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/RND2110/ReadyNAS_Duov2_NV+v2_HW_en_23-Mar-12.pdf

What is on the label on the bottom is:

ReadyNAS Duo RND2000 v2

I have tried that, but that does not work. i just cant get it into the boot memu.

all i get is the power light flashing and periodicly all the rest of the light flash too.

so is ther unit US!? or is there another way of reinstalling the firmware?

  Hi dav3953,
  
  Have you checked if these drives are listed in our HCL? Also, have you considered installing a fresh one?
  
  Kind regards,
