Lost access to ReadyNas Duo
Hi,
I am trying to access my ReadyNas Duo with no success so far.
In Raidar I found it in 192.168.0.12, but when I try https://192.168.0.12/admin nothing happens.
Also, in finder, trying afp://192.168.0.12 does not connect.
It used to work well, but I haven't used the ReadyNas Duo for a while and I have updated my OS to Mountain Lion.
I read that some people have fixed the same problem fixing the firmware, but I don't know how to update the firmware without the web access.
Any idea?
Thanks

- StephenBGuru - Experienced UserDid you re-insert them with the NAS running?
- fredguthAspirantYes
- StephenBGuru - Experienced UserAnd you reinserted them in rapid succession???
Whenever you insert a drive into a running NAS (with XRAID) the first thing that happens is that the disk gets wiped. If the remaining disk is good, then the newly inserted disk is re-built from it. But you re-insert the second disk before that is finished, then you are hosed. Hopefully you have a backup.
Vendor disk diags generally only work on a Windows PC. Do you have access to one? - fredguthAspirantI have no problem loosing data (I have backup). I don't have a Windows PC, just a notebook. I think I have to find one and test my drives, right?

A laptop can be used if you have:fredguth wrote: I have no problem loosing data (I have backup). I don't have a Windows PC, just a notebook. I think I have to find one and test my drives, right?
(a) SATA power brick
(b) SATA->eSata cable if the laptop has eSata
or
(c) SATA->USB adapter.
Or a USB enclosure that is externally powered.
