ReadyNAS DUO "corrupt Root" how to re-install?
I have a corrupted HDD that I have pulled out and I reformatted the remaining good one NTFS on a WIndows 10 machine. Seems fine there. But when I go to load it in my ReadyNAS DUO, I see blinkng green...

No, it has to be done in the NAS. The NAS needs to partition the disk, format it, create the RAID array(s), and then create the file system.
Did you add this new disk as the second disk? Or did you remove the original disk and insert a new one?
The fan seems to have resolved itself after the re-calibration.
I just added a brand new 2GB HDD by itself to the ReadyNAS DUO and now I can't access the admin page. It wants to "initiallize" the disk (see attached screenshot). Cannot use RAIDar's Admin to go further into the config.
Does this really have to be done *first in Windows? Because when I attach it to my PC, Windows won't boot no matter if it's on the secondary SATA channel or not. I don't use a monitor on the PC and instead RDP via my MAC after it boots.
If I really need to iniitialize in Windows first, I'l go buy a monitor for the PC and poke around in the BIOS but wanted to ask here first.
