ReadyNas Duo V1 trouble with HDD's blue blink forever

Hi,

I checked my HDD and the one I have tried with shows up OK in WD's HDD check
I tried a new USB reflash with the same bad results and was about to try the TFPD32 program
I managed to set the computer IP to 192.168.125.1

But I cant get the TFPD32 settings to show 192.168.125.1
4. Make sure that the current directory of TFTPD is set to where you
have downloaded the files, and the server interface is showing
192.168.125.1.

I need help with the settings

In case of boot problems perhaps due to a flash corruption on the
ReadyNAS, the TFTP Boot Recovery Instruction allows you to rewrite the
boot image on flash and restore your ReadyNAS to a known good firmware
image.

Before continuing, if you haven't done so, unzip the content of the
TFTP_Boot.zip onto your hard disk. You should see a TFTP_Boot folder.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Follow the instructions here to upload and install the TFTP boot image.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Connect your PC directly to the ReadyNAS and set the IP address of
the PC to 192.168.125.1 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Make sure
the ReadyNAS is powered off.

2. Start TFTPD32.exe.

3. Set the TFTPD32 timeout to 10 seconds in Settings.

4. Make sure that the current directory of TFTPD is set to where you
have downloaded the files, and the server interface is showing
192.168.125.1.

5. Close all other window applications including RAIDar and your browser.

IMPORTANT: Disable any firewall software. It will prevent the NAS to
communicate with the PC.

6. Press power button on the front of the ReadyNAS and keep it depressed
for about 10 seconds, and release when all disk LEDs flash for the 2nd
time. The disk LEDs will flash at 5 secs and again at 10 secs. When the
unit first powers up, there is a very quick flash of the LEDs (less then
a second), ignore this power on flash, only looking for the +1 second
longer flashes.

7. Disk LED 1 and 4 will stay lit. If these LEDs are not lit, you must
go back to step 6 and try again.

8. Monitor the TFTPD window as it should show uploading kernel_conf and
initrd_conf.

9. Lastly TFTPD will upload the RAIDiator image to the ReadyNAS. The image
is about 45 MB, so it will take several minutes. It's possible that
the transfer will fail several times due to timeouts. In that case,
you may need to try connecting the ReadyNAS and the PC via a
router/switch and increase the timeout value in the TFTPD setting.

10. If the transfer is successful, your system should come up shortly
after. To complete the firmware installation, perform the 5-sec reset
by holding the hidden System Reset Switch on the back of the ReadyNAS
for about 5 seconds, until you see the 4 disk LEDs blink once, while
powering on the system.

Please be aware that the TFTP protocol is not robust and you may encounter
timeout issues. Try again if you encounter a timeout.
