Your firmware is extremely old and was released back in December 2006: http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=7836
That firmware does not support 2TB disks (I don't think it even supports 1TB disks).
Best to backup your data across your network or update the firmware then backup your data.
Firmware updates leave your data intact. In the unlikely event you have issues some assistance can be provided.
In the current firmware (not sure about RAIDiator 3.x) there is an option to backup All Home Shares. The home shares are also stored on the data volume C, so backing that up is another alternative.
When a USB drive is attached it will automatically be mounted (provided it's formatted with a compatible filesystem i.e. EXT3, FAT32 or NTFS)
