Thank you for your reply.  I will delete the WD hard drive's EXT4 partition using my Linux box so that it should appear to the ReadyNAS Ultra2+ as unformated and try that in the ReadyNAS later today and report results.

 

I do have another 3 USB memory sticks formated FAT32 and will try those in my step #5.

Once you have the Ultra 2 up and running again on Raidiator 4.2.31 it may be opportune to upgrade it to the latest Netgear OS, OS 6 details HERE, read all the posts, particularly the step to autocheck/update the Ultra Bios, as this has to be done in 4.2.31
