Not sure what do about my old ReadyNAS NV+ v2 to make use of it?
Hi Experienced Readynas folks, I have an old 4-bay ReadyNAS NV+ v2 that I brought out of retirement after not using for a long time. It booted up and seems to work fine for over a week now, with...
So, I stopped the sync on my ReadyNAS, and rebooted with the reset hole pressed
until it came up in the front-panel monitor mode. Selected Factory and pressed that
reset hole again and it booted up looking for RAIDar.
Tried Factory reset, failed. Did a reinstall OS, and that worked. Went into RAIDar,
and started to configure it, but it will not configure it for me unless I register it?
I don't have any of the original paperwork anymore. I remember I had this problem
before because I bought this at Fry's Electronics before long ago, and it was a return.
I assume the person who bought it before me and returned it must have registered it
to themselves, and I was unable to to register it.
It is impossible to contact Netgear Support on this old of a product? Oh God!
Do you actually work for Netgear and have any idea what I can do?

You can click through the registration request. It's long out of warranty, so no need to try to track down an ancient receipt.
Your failed factory default is a sign that something might be wrong with the disks. Though if you are getting the registration message, then perhaps the factory default actually succeeded. You don't normally get that message after an OS reinstall.

No, this is a user-to-user forum and I don't work for them. But we can generally help (and IMO our track record is at least as good as Netgear's).
