NV+ Stuck on (hangs on) Booting...
It's actually a RND 4000 v3 (RAIDiator 4.1.15) 4x seagate Barracuda 2TB. I think it's RAID 5 (I know I'm supposed to know, but I don't... not for sure anyway) Hi there. My NV+ is stuck on Booting...
You could also see if it boots with the bad disk removed.
Hello Jappert,
Try performing Skip Volume Check from the boot menu. Once you are are able to access, back up the data as soon as possible and then check for reallocated sector count and pending errors as well as ATA errors, these errors are from a faulty disks.
Welcome to the community!

Yessss... that worked... Booting with the bas disk removed. (Booting with "skip volume check" didn't; it got stuck in the 'booting....' phase again) .
Much, very much appreciated...
(doing the extra back up right now...)
Could I also slip in a new 2T drive in slot 2 and have the system 'healthy' again, or is that too optimistic?
Yes, after you have updated your backup, you should be able to insert a replacement drive. But since te resync process is drive intensive and losng the second drive during the process is catestrophic to your volume, you should always have a current backup before doing it.
