NV+ - Won't Boot, Flashing Lights, Bad Memory? (Solved)
I've been struggling off and on in my spare time trying to get my original NV+ to boot. I had a bad disk and after replacing it things got a bit screwy. I got a Kernel Error so I believed I needed to ...
The safest course is to power down the NAS, install 1,3, 4, and then power up. Assuming it starts successfully, I would then erase the partitions on the new disk 2 on a PC, and then hot-insert it into the NAS. There is no need to format, just to delete the existing partitions.
Erasing the disk from FrontView will take a long time (it is a "secure erase" that overwrites with a lot of passes).
Note the NAS ought to treat the disk 2 has a new disk anyway (even w/o erasing partitions). My suggestion on deleting paritions is being cautious.
BTW, do you have a backup? If not, I suggest making one before you insert disk 2.
