You should be able to select the disk and then click format in the Web UI. If you are using XRAID it will then automatically add the disk to the volume.
Another option is to connect the disk to a windows PC, and use the vendor tools to zero it. Both Seatools (Seagate) and Lifeguard (Western Digital) can zero disks.
Hi,
Am not able to proceed through web UI to select the disk,

If you're happy to wipe the disks (note this destroys all data) you could try a factory reset using the boot menu: How do I access the boot menu on my ReadyNAS 2304, 3130 or 3138 storage system?
