You likely will need to forcibly power down. Try holding the switch down for several seconds, if that doesn't help you'll need to pull the plug.
Then I suggest removing the disks (labeling by slot) and powering up diskless. Then see if you get a correct IP address for your network, and if RAIDar discovers the NAS with "no disks" status.
While the disks are out, try testing them in a Windows PC with vendor tools (Seatools for Seagate, Lifeguard for Western Digital). Don't initialize them or format them of course - the vendor tools can find/test the disks even though windows doesn't recognize them.
If you want to put them back in the NAS, make sure it is powered down and that you preserve the original slot order.

ReadyDLNA does take some OS partition space in the legacy ReadyNAS.
Installing this add-on (posted by Skywalker some time ago) will help: http://www.readynas.com/download/addons/4.1/Toggle_ReadyDLNA_CacheDir_1.0.bin
It moves the ReadyDLNA cache to the C volume. It is a "toggle" add-on - it has no UI, and won't show up in the add-on list. You uninstall by installing it a second time.
