Windows Disk Manager shows my only local drive, and attached backup and storage drives.
When I expand the Network I can see the Netgear NAS and the attached USB drives.
The attached USB drives are listed as -
usb_hdd_2 (this is the USB HD attached to the NAS front USB.)
usb_hdd_3 (these 4 hd drives are the USB HD attached to the rear USB.
usb_hdd_5
usb_hdd_6
usb_hdd_8
hdd_3 has boot, recovery, acroldr, and system volume folders, etc.
hdd_5 has recovery and system volume folders
hdd_6 is empty
hdd_8 has system volume and recycle bin folders

Try deleting them all, and then create a single partition. Then format it as NTFS.
- yahtzeeOct 22, 2018TutorDeleted all of the volumes and reformatted NTFS. That worked, it now shows as a single volume on Readynas. Thanks
