Readynas 1100 unresponsive - quota check?
The shares on our Readynas 1100 dropped off the network at toward the end of the day today. I could not get into Frontview or Raidar (4.1.5). I pushed the front blue power button but nothing happen...

Hello hezner,
If it takes too long that it already reaches more than 24 hrs, you might need to contact support already. I checked your profile and your ReadyNAS 1100 is already out of warranty and support, however you can avail their per incident support, it may need to get escalated to L3.

I have the disk plugged in as a USB. My Win7 Computer management the disk management sees it as disk 2 (that is correct as I have 2 internal drives) but does not know what size it is or the manufacturer. It shows as unknown and not initialized. The drive does not show in Explorer. When I tried to initialize it failed saying the disk was not ready. I tried scanning for it in Seagate tools but it did not show there either. Another suggestions or tools to get it in a state where I can unformat it?

I move the disk over and plugged it into an old XP desktop and was able to see the drive partions in disk manager and able to delete the partitions OK. It does recognize the correct model and capacity of the drive and now shows it all as one unallocated space. I did not go to the drive manufacturer tools and to the advanced test to zero the dirves
So, is it OK to plug that into the degraded array now without doing the advanced test? Thanks so much for your quick response and all your help.
