Error: Could not mount RAID d
I've taken my old server offline and replaced with a new one and as a result, had 4x500GB hard drives knocking about. So, I decided to order a RN104 as I've used a number of ReadyNAS devices before.
However, once installed and fired up, the display states "Error: Could not mount RAID d"...
I've carried out a search and it appears I shouldn't have assumed it'll take any drive. I've 1x Seagate Barracuda 7200.10, 1x Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 and 2x Samsung HD501LJ, all 500GB and wanted to run them in XRAID-2.
Is it possible to get the NAS to accept those drives, or have I just bought the NAS for no reason :(

- Try a factory default (wipes all data, settings, everything) via the boot menu. If that doesn't work, hook the drives up to a PC, delete the partitions and try again. The NAS will format the disk.
- Awesome, that appears to have worked a treat! Thanks mdgm!
