ReadyNAS 2000 Issues¬
Hi
I was given this NAS and im struggling to set it up. RAIDar is showing corrupt root. I have tried to perform a factory reset and OS install using the reset button to no avail. I cannot get to the admin page although I can ping it..
I removed the HDD too and formatted them in windows but didnt help either. They are showing with a green tick so assume ok.
Can someone help in getting it back to factory for me? Either by USB which I cant work out or someother method?
Thanks!

Ok. The WD60EFAX is SMR, so not a good choice. But the WD60EFRX should be fine.
I do recommend removing the partitions in the windows disk manager. Maybe also test it with WD's dashboard utility while it is connected.
If the partitions are all removed, then the NAS should automatically do a factory install when the system powers up. No need to use the boot menu.

Does your NAS say
- ReadyNAS Duo on the front panel? or
- ReadyNAS Duo v2 on the front panel?
Please ignore other labels for this check. Operation of the boot menu is a bit different, depending on what you have.

FWIW, a bad idea. The NAS doesn't use the file systems used in Windows. What disk model are you using?
Hi Stephen!
Just says ReadyNAS on the front, underneath its Model No.: RND-2A and RNDP2000 as well as RNDP2230-100NAS
