ReadyNAS Duo - new disk displays Bad Disk Detected in RAIDar
My Duo has been working fine with the one Seagate 500 gb drive that was originally included with the unit with purchase. I wanted to add a second disk for redundancy. I purchased a Western D...
Thanks PapaBear... I booted up again with both disks inserted, and Started another factory default by holding the reset button in the back for 30 seconds..... Waiting on the two disk LED green lights to flash the second time.
Then I went to RAIDar, and got the green solid lights under Disk 1, Disk 2, and Fan. Info indicated to Click Setup, which I did. I allowed the default setting to remain to X-RAID and submitted. now on the RAIDar, the first box on left, is solid blue. The Vol. Disk does not have any lights in the box. The 1 and 2 and Fan have solid green lights. The Info states Installing.
If I hover the mouse over the green light under 1, it displays Channel 1 Seagate model number and 465 gb. When I hover over the green light under 2, it displays Channel 2 WDC WD serial number, 465 gb, and ATA Error Count: 34.
This is the way it was for > 5 hrs last night. It never passed the Installing, nor did the Vol. Disk ever display a light and progress.
Should I shutdown, remove the Disks and try to do a factory reset on each one independently?
