Hi! First of all, sorry for my bad english!!! I have a problem! I can't find readyNas in my network... :( Last night i switch it off, and this morning i can't find it... I don't know the why!... In my cisco's switch the led connected with it does not flash...The led of system are all static, but i can hear the discs inside... I've tried to connect the unit directly with my iMac, but there's no change...What can be???...what can i do to fix it???...Thanks in advance for the help!- Patrik. -

First I would contact support. If the unit is new, you might still have free phone support. If not, use the on-line system.If the switch doesn't see activity on the ethernet line, then it is probably a hardware failure in the NAS itself. If so, then your data should be intact (and if the unit is under warranty, Netgear should RMA you a new one).

Oh my god!!! I've checked the LAN port under the nas, and there's only one green flash when i switch on the unit... Is possible that it's damaged???...could i check in some way if there a problem???...

Another question...if i put the disks in a new unit, i lose all my data?...exist a method to rescue the data registered on my 2 disks?...are configured in RAID 0...last backup in 2012-may... :(

There is a good chance that your data is intact. You will need a spare disk though to set up the new unit and make sure the version of RAIDiator is as new or newer than the one on your disks. The operating system (RAIDiator) and the configuration is stored on the disks. When you get a replacement unit, install the spare disk (cannot be part of your array) and boot the machine. When it had gone though the default setup, make sure the RAIDiator version is up to your version (current version for the Duo v2 is 5.3.5. Then shut the unit down (this is critical) and remove the drive. Then install your drives in the new box in the same slots they were in before and then, only then reboot the NAS.

OK! Could i use only one disk to make the configuration to the new unit?...In summary:1. - Receive new unit2. - Install a spare disk (...only one or need forcedly 2 disks???...) in the new unit3. - Configure the new unit4. - Shut the new unit down5. - Install the "old" disks in the new unit (...in the same positions than in the old unit...)6. - Switch on the power button...correct???...In this moment i don't know what version of RAIDiator is installed in the damaged unit...is a problem???...

Is this a Duo v1 or Duo v2?: How to tell whether I have a Duo v1 or Duo v2 or NV+ v1 or NV+ v2

You can't do it without the disks installed. The OS Re-install re-installs the OS onto the OS partition on the disks.

The label under the machine tell RND2000 V2 - but, looking the link i can tell Duo v1...why?... :?

It would be a v1 hardware revision 2, but that's still a v1.

To do an OS Re-install:
1. Press and hold reset button at the back of the unit (e.g. with a paperclip)
2. Press power button
3. Continue holding reset button. The disk LEDs will blink briefly after about 5 seconds. Release the reset button after that blink.

An OS Re-install leaves data intact. You can monitor the progress of the OS Re-install in RAIDar (http://www.readynas.com/downloads)
