ReadyNAS Duo v1 OS Reinstall questions
From my previous post: I have purchased another seagate 2tb drive and was able to install the os the drive from disc 1 slot. So I have eliminated that the controller for the Duo has gone bad. I ha...

thank you. that's how I got to learn that it might need an os reinstall
make sure when you chose os reinstal to confirm choice by presing reset button briefly then os reinstal will start it dosnt take long in my case it took 5 min
I have tried several times to do an OS reinstall but so far I've had no luck at all.
I can not reach frontview with the corrupted root drive so I hold the power button until the duo shuts down.
Then I hold the reset button and press the power.
The power light flashes rapidly as the duo starts up.
the disc leds come on for about 2 seconds about 12 seconds into the boot.
then they go off. thats when I release the reset button.
I do not want to hold the reset button longer because I dont want to do a factory default reset.
am I missing a step? did i misunderstand the instructions?
any help. Thank you
This was a great site but I can't reach it anymore.
Hi clblackman,
Does the device still show up in RAIDar? Could you try to do a ping via cmd? Also, check if you can access https://192.168.1.61/admin/.
Kind regards,

NETGEAR Community TeamAn OS Re-install won't necessarily fix corrupt root. It does depend what caused it.
If you have corrupt root due to a full 2GB root volume for example, then doing an OS Re-install may actually make your problems worse.
Do you have a backup?
