NV 4x1TB -> 4x2TB nightmare! (#10777660)
Here's what I have done so far I have a readynas NV It has 4x1TB (xraid) 4.1.6 1) I bought 4 new 2TB drives 2) Replaced each drive one at a time 3) Rebuilt successfully after each drive repla...
According to this document it means "Corrupted, do not mix used disks and cold boot up. In most cases, problem may be solved by OS reinstall with optional NAND recovery. Contact tech support before taking actions."

When you backed up the config, which version of firmware were you running? If the configuration settings are from an older version of firmware, this may be related to the problem.
My advice would be this:
1. Check each disk using vendor tools to confirm that they are okay:
faq.php#How_can_I_verify_that_my_disk_is_bad%3F
2. While installed in PC, delete any/all partitions that may be on the disks.
3. Install one disk only in the NAS and perform a factory default (use USB/TFTP boot recovery, if required).
4. If the config settings are for the same version of firmware, restore the settings. Otherwise, you may want to manually recreate the desired settings.
5. Reboot and verify that all is working as expected. If so, proceed to hot-add each remaining disk (one-at-a-time) and wait for the process to complete before adding the next drive.
6. Upon successful addition of all disks, reboot again, verify expected functionality and restore data.
