Morning,
Did anyone find out why this happend? as I've just upgrade to the latest version 6.9.5 and I've just experienced the same error message "please remove inactive disks" and when removing all disks from the system the admin console still thinks the disks are still connected and the same applies on the unit it still thinks drives 2 & 3 are plugged in as the lights are showing for disks 2 & 3.
Thanks

The disks are of course still connected, but the data volume can't be mounted.
One option is to engage paid support (my.netgear.com).

Thank you for the quick reply, I have now resolved the issue, disk 2 was faulty of a RAID 5 setup, so I have removed this drive, reformatted the remaining 2 and started from scratch again, once I have replaced the faulty drive with a new one I shall copy the data across again.
