ReadNAS Duo v2 corrupt root
Hello I'm hoping someone can help me out I have A ReadNAS Duo v2 not used it for awhile so I come to use it thought I'd factory reset so it would format the HD did it via the IP address came to look ...
So wiped the drive pic attached. Put back in the nas turned it on nothing happened you can hear the nas loading up light flashing then drive light comes on, the HD isn't booting at all.

What status is RAIDar giving you (with the wiped disk installed)?
- First thanks for everyone's help and replys.
Do when the drives are in says corrupt root drives out says no diskAnd you removed all partitions from both drives? I've never seen that, but maybe you do need to use the "write zeros" option in the drive manufacturer's diagnostic tool.
This is why I will usually wipe not only partitions but the boot sector as then the drive is completely 'empty' as the nas expects them to be. Hopefully that will work and it will see them again.

- I've tried the section 16-17 last week no joy the only option that works is tech mode I get a telnet number. Tried formatting the drives as stated above still no joy. I'm at a loss I've followed all the options I searched on the Internet before posting here.
