Data Recovery readyNAS 2304
Hi Guys,
we used to use a RN2100 which stopped working after we tried to shut it down. we've never got it running again. The netgear support suggested that we buy a ReadyNAS 2304. So we did and put the old drives into it.
Now the shares do appear but the system seems not to be able to access the drives.
Tried to boot the machine in volume read-only but that doesn't seem to work either.
No volume icons show up.
Is there any way to recover the data from the disks?
Any help appreciated!

It definately rund RaidiatorThis process should have worked then: https://kb.netgear.com/29957/ReadyNAS-Migrating-disks-from-RAIDiator-4-2-to-ReadyNAS-OS-6-x86
Can you access the admin web ui of the NAS, and post a screenshot of what you see there?

Did you just try to migrate the drives?
That wouldn't work with a 2100, unless it was running 6.x.x fimware. It should have worked if you migrated from an RN2120
Can you confirm what you were migrating from (ideally telling us what firmware was running on the old NAS), and how you migrated the drives?
i need to talk to my collegue to answer the questions about the old machin's firmware version and if he did anything to migrate the data.
The 2100 simply was there so we used it. i would be very happy never to use it anymore again. While i would be even more happy to see my data again
let's assume that it was running on an earlier firmware version - like 4.x.x. What options do we have?
Volume read-only mode is a boot menu for volumes created on OS6, not for data recovery attempts of volumes from a system running RAIDiator.

It definately rund Raidiator
