My ReadyNas DuoV2 won't boot with disc
Hi I been trying to start up my 9 year old ReadyNas Duo (V2 I think), but it won't boot. It only has one disc. I haven't used it for 5-6 years but it's been stored dry. I have been running some test...
Does RAIDar find the NAS with no drive installed?
If yes, then a Factory Default is the typical next step. If no, then USB recovery is (RAIDiator-4-1-USB-Recovery-Tool ).

If it says "Duo" on the front panel, then it's a v1. If it says "Duo v2" on the front panel, then it's a v2. Ignore the other labels.

When I fire it up it doesn't seem to see the hard drive. The green light doesn't light up on ReadyNas
Are you seeing any indication that the Duo is powered?
Then it's a V1 :)
Yes - the blue on/off buttom is flashing different combinations of fast and slow and it's says bip every now and then
I've tried all five different boot modes (https://kb.netgear.com/24874/How-do-I-access-the-boot-menu-on-my-ReadyNAS-Duo-NV-NV-X6-or-600) but only when I do the Memory test are the green disc indicators on.
The RAM seems to be working
Is the LED pattern one of these?
LED blink behavior for 2 disk systems is three quick blinks of all disk LEDs and the backup LED, followed by an 1s delay, followed by a number of slow blinks. The number of slow blinks will be the error code. Current error codes: 1 - Vendor mismatch 2 - No disks detected 3 - Bad contents on root partition of disks 4 - Flash error 5 - Unsupported RAID configuration
Sadly no. It's more 15-16 slow ones from the blue power on/off LED
