Can I run it in safe mode by using the reset button on the back?
Would reinstalling the OS help with anything? And would it delete anything as well?
Hi Bigmaca,
You will not be able to run the NAS in safe mode using the reset button. Safe mode will appear when the NAS encounters the situations listed in this article.
OS re-install should not delete any data on your NAS but I don't think that it will be much of help on this situation. Perhaps try first booting the NAS to read-only mode and see if you can access the data on that mode.

Hi JohnCM_S,
When I'm home I'll give this ago straight away. If I am able to see the volumes in safe mode, but from memory it will not give me that function as everything seems to be working normally and it isn't displaying an error.
I think this has happened before and then after multiple attempts it came back on. I won't bother with the OS reinstall
