read readynas volume using usb port windows 10
HI everyone, my readynas 102 is having some issues, and I want to reset it to factory defaults. I have tried to back up the data to an external usb 3.0 drive, but the backup crashes and never finish...

Thanks Steven, I forgot to mention I did try the drag and drop too, but the Readynas hangs with this too. I was hoping to attach one of the internal drives to a pc using the usb enclosure and read the info directly from it, but as you mentioned I'm not sure what to use. I saw some program from diskinternals posted when I googled it, but I'm not sure it will work. http://www.diskinternals.com/linux-reader/features.shtml

Linux Reader won't work with the RN102.

Yeah, I just tried it. :smileymad: Do you know of anything that will let me read the drives if I connect them to a usb port on the pc?

No. You'll need to be running linux. As I said above, I think the arch usbLive setup will work. Since you'd be booting off a USB, your windows OS will remain intact.
