Duo v2 - single disk set up - giving corrupt boot error
Setup: 1X 2TB seagate disk Not sure how it's set up (RAID0, 5, X-RAID - not sure. But I think I must have used the default). I had this unit turned off for sometime and powered on a couple of...
Thank you for your prompt reply.
I'm certain I did the OS install, (selected second LED light). But this device was turned of, powered and my 4yr old was spotted turning it on/off a several times over the last few months. I'm wondering if this did something to it?
Also, at the time I rebooted the device:
1. The power off button didn't function (two quick clicks, long press nothing worked)
2. Ping worked, admin page gave rejected message
Well that's for some more background.
Over to the recovery s/w I've been trying.. Tried the main ones without much luck but now i'm after those that mention 'Netgear and XRAID' explicitly. Few that I found are:
1. ReclaiMe
2. Hetman recovery
3. Stellar - (but this one require you to manually reconstruct the raid set up)
Thanks for your suggestion. I'll check out r-studio.
Does anyone know other threads or recovery s/w (try for free) that works on ReadyNas?

The prompt to set up RAID suggests otherwise. You only get that after the factory default (there is about a 10 minute time window after the factory default begins there RAIDar will let you set the RAID mode).
Anyway, I hope you do find a tool that works.
