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 ).
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
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 ).
Wow, the edit time expired quickly on that one. Just wanted to add that a Factory Default wipes the drives, but I assumed after all that time that that was not a problem.
