So you don't have a backup?
It does sound like what you've done has made the problem worse.

- CosseDec 05, 2017GuideHi thanks for your answer. Sorry to say i am not intrested to pay for anything thats not my fault. I think that netgear should fix this for free!
- CosseDec 05, 2017GuideActually, it does not matter how many backups I have or do not have, nevertheless, netgear's update destroyed my raid. according to me, it's them who is guilty of that now I need help.
If you do not show greater responsibility to their customers, they might consider discontinuing data gadgets. Some users have very important information on their nas machines.
I have sent my disks for recovery at a company in Stockholm, but they would have about 1000 dollars to fix them, which I can not afford! But who has it today! I agree with others here on the forum I will scratch my RN104 to set up a PC instead.
As I see it, it's not the product that's wrong, but the way Netgear manages its actions towards its customers!- StephenBDec 05, 2017Guru - Experienced User
