Thanks Dana,
The first line, 'Getting Started with RAIDar' comes up with a Page Not Found and judging by the title, it's just what I need. :-)
I downloaded and extracted RAIDiator-V4.1.14.zip I just need a kickstart as I'm not sure what steps to use these files.

Exploring, I found this: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/RND2110/RAIDiator4-1_SW_en_06Dec11.pdf
which contains this:
4. Download the version of RAIDar for your computer. You can download RAIDar at http://www.readynas.com/downloads.
5. Launch the installer and follow the onscreen instructions to install RAIDar.
6. Launch RAIDar.
7. Highlight your ReadyNAS system and click the Setup button.
The 'installer'? Where is this found?Thanks, Dane.

RAIDar is a PC application (not the NAS firmware). So you download the executable, and install it like any other windows (or Mac) program.
The current version is 6.1, and you can find the links for it here: http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/20684/~/readynas-downloads
Though your NAS is quite old, and for some things the older RAIDar (4.3.8) works better. Unfortunately Netgear has chosen to bury the older version. But you can find download using the links below.
