Nas Duo RND2150
I have an older Nas Duo, it was working fine and then suddenly was not accessible. I’m pretty sure I lost both drives, my fault, it had stopped e mailing me status and I had not been checking it. I’m sure it lost one drive followed by the second later. I did try to reboot and all I get is the blue flashing light, no drive lights. I pulled the drives and looked at them using a Linux box. One drive spins up and shows all as unallocated space. The other has what I think is the Linux structure on it, and there are shortcuts to the folders I had, but when I try to access the shortcuts, it says the directory is not valid. If I look at the folder it points to, nothing is in it.
Am I screwed as far as getting any data back?
Thanks,
Tim
The part number is RND4TRAY1-10000S, which might help googling. They are hard to find. Newer trays have a square latch button, the older design with the circular button tended to jam. Both will work.
Trays for the NV+, Duo, Ultra, and Pro desktop NAS are all interchangeable. OS 6 NAS use a different tray design, as do rackmount ReadyNAS.

You might not have mounted the C volume correctly.
There are instructions here: http://jim-st.blogspot.com/2012/07/mouning-readynas-drives-on-x86-systems.html
Thanks for info. I thought it was going to work, but the drive seems to be bad. I have it in a dock and the dock starts beeping and sounding error beeps for bad drive. I can look into some folders, others causes the thing to go nuts. As you can see from the attached, it isn't able to get into the C. It looked like is was going to work, but I think it just can't read the drive.
Thanks,
Tim
If you have a windows PC, try testing the second drive with the vendor diagnostic (seatools for seagate, lifeguard for western digital). If the drive is healthy, the NAS should boot up with only that drive in place (in the original slot if you remember it).
You could try cloning one of the disks if it is marginal, but I suspect it's too late for that with the disk you are working on now.
