ReadyNAS Duo v1 unable to access
I own an older ReadyNAS duo (v1 based upon it NOT saying v2 on the front access door). It was running fine until recently and here's what the current power up/boot sequence looks like
- Power on
- Start RAIDar and click on rescan while the NAS is booting up
- NAS power on light and drive 1 flashing, drive 2 solid grren
- RAIDAR report System Staus
- IP address 192.168.xxx.xxx (actual numbers omitted but it does show a valid IP address issued via DHCP from my router)
- no firmware version is displayed
- Unable to connect to admin page. Browser returns (Unable to connect/establish a connection to the server at 192.168.xxx.xxx.
- RAIDar reports Checking file system and then Quota Check (power activity and drive 1 LED's blinking drive 2 soli green. RAIDar shows both drives with green checkmarks.
- after a few moments the RAIDar display clears and issues a "RAIDar could not find any NETGEAR storage on your network. Check that your storage device is powered on and connected correctly. For more help, visit http://my.netgear.com"
- Rescan yields the same result in step 7.
The NAS was setup as a RAID volume using approved (at the time WD RED NASware 1.0TB drives)

I'd start by powering down the NAS and testing the drives in a Windows PC - connecting with either SATA or a USB adapter/dock. You can use WD's test tool for this:
Make sure you label the drives as you remove them, as they are formatted somewhat differently.
You can also try powering up the NAS with only disk 2 installed (slot 2 empty) and see if that makes a difference.
192.168.xxx.xxx
FYI - It is safe to use the actual numbers, as these are private addresses that cannot be routed over the internet.
