Does it show in RAIDar?
Sounds like you could have a bad disk.
Note that when you do a factory reset via the boot menu the system will run a few checks then wait 10 minutes before proceeding to wipe the disks. When you did the factory reset did you see what happened after the 10 minute countdown expired?

yes it would show up saying booting etc, I tried a factory reset yesterday again and watched in raidar, it went to building volume etc then rebooted and then nothing really, I can hit the login page and go to login then it sits there. the disks are original and had only a few bad sectors. I guess I could remove all the drives and try an os rebuild on a known working drive.
I cycled after I couldnt get to the admin page to look at anything and it goes back to flashing blue and says just booting in raidar.
Could simply one bad disk be doing this? Does it load the OS on all the disks or simply one disk?.
