ReadyNas Duo V1 USB Boot

We recently had to break the RIAD X mirror and thanks to the forum managed to recover the data by connecting the hard drives directly to the PC.

I tried to reset the NAS to Factory Default but Raidar says the boot is corrupt.

I tried to boot using a 16GB USB and following the USB boot instructions on the forum but not successful.

Guys any ideas on how I can get this thing working again?

    delete the partitions on the drives, put them back in the NAS and power it up.

    Tried that, even formatted the hard drive before putting it in.

    Wiped the partition table off the disk and rebooted the NAS. Hopefully this has fixed it.

    Please check again.

    Please also note that your disk has two ATA errors and may be failing. If you still have the same error try another disk.
