ReadyNAS Duo - blinking power button never ends
HI all,
Have A ReadyNAS Duo with 2 x 750GB drives.
I shutdown a few days ago (press and held power bitton until it blinked). The next day, upon startup, the power LED flashed repeatedly (No HD LED's were blinking). Left it this way for a day, at least.
Had to shutdown by pulling the power cord out. Power button would not work.
Raidar doesn't detect the drives.
Is there anything that can be done?
Thank you kindly for any help.

This is turning out to be very difficult. Live Support won;t accept my serial number/date purchased and the webpage for telephone support does not work (https://my.netgear-support.com/myNETGEAR/ENG/login.asp). I am in Australia. I have logged an email request for support in the meantime.
If anyone can offer any suggestions here, I would appreciate it. We are headed overseas on Sunday and I am getting very anxious about getting my wife's data back.
Thanks again. - I have same problem. I upgrade some packages thru apt-get command and after shutdown Duo v1 didn't get working. Only power led is blinking and ACT and HDD Lead no light. Can you tell me what Can I try first:

What is OS Reinstal? It will erase my data or just configuration etc? From my perspective the problem is with linux configuration or general soft problem failure. Should I try USB boot recovery or OS re-install.
I have 1,5TB disks so I dont have how to backup all data somewhere else. And last question it is possible to take one disk, connect to normal desktop and copy as usual data?
Plaese anybody can advice something? emc wrote: I have same problem. I upgrade some packages thru apt-get command and after shutdown Duo v1 didn't get working. Only power led is blinking and ACT and HDD Lead no light. Can you tell me what Can I try first:

I was able to use this problem to recover my data: http://www.diskinternals.com/linux-reader/
