OS6 now works on x86 Legacy WARNING: NO NTGR SUPPORT!
Update: It is now unofficially possible using NTGR images to update legacy hardware to os6.X See Post #3, for directions to install 6.2.1 on x86 Ultra and Pro Models. (ARM NOT SUPPORTED by this OS) ...
mdgm and I have decided that its time to lock this thread. So please do post any new OS6 on Legacy issues on their own threads.
Both running 6.4 (see above)
What happens if you power down both units and swap the disks?

Just powered down and swapped disks. The operational NAS will still boot with the other disks, the non-operational NAS will still not boot : (
The non-operational NAS has a CPU fan that is not working well. I swapped in the good CPU fan, it spins faster, but the NAS will still not boot. I still cannot get in to the boot menu.
What next? :robotfrustrated:
So the non-booting NAS remains broken when you swap the disks, the PSU and the RAM. The booting NAS works fine after all these swaps.
That suggests the problem is in the flash (possibly the boot loader). I don't know if the USB recovery tool for OS6 will work with legacy NAS or not. Hopefully Netgear will comment.
