Secondly, how are you attempting to mount these disks? The only thing the ReadyNAS will perform on these disks is change them to a GPT boot record, partition the disks, then create RAID over them.
You can put these disks back into the ReadyNAS and factory default, then when you get ready to setup the device again, you can select "Delete Volume" to delete the data off of the disks.
Hi Thanks for the reply ...
I have put one, two, three and even all four disks into the NAS box, I have run through the setup with RAIDar and Erased the disks, and all the options. (3 days worth). I have tried to Mount these inside a server with Windows 2003 R2, on a USB with windows 2000 and windows 7 (My Computer/Manage/Disk Managaement), also in a Ubuntu 12 Linux PC (all SATA). They all show the 2TB disks but refuse to test the disks, refuse to Zero Wipe them, refuse to Mount them at all. Its like the ReadyNas has destroyed the firmware or the drive structure, but I just can't workout why?
Have tried varoius software for reading Raid drives with FlexRAID, XRAID2 etc but no luck.
Is there any software out there which is Industry grade used by the Hard Disk Engineers then will factory reset the drives?
Cheers
