Hmm...Okay, I think I am willing to take your suggestion and set it up as RAID-5. I finished resyncing the volumes last night but they still show as before. I am going to try shutting it down and then restarting the NAS to see if it "finds" them .

Ok. You only have one volume btw. Disks are not the same as volumes.

If this doesn't help, then I suggest removing both of the new disks, and then hook them up to a PC and delete the partitions. Then insert one drive, and wait until resync is complete, and see where you are. Do all this with the NAS running (including removing/reinserting the drives).

To delete partitions on a Windows PC, you right-click on "computer" and select "manage". A management app will launch that includes a disk manager that shows each disk. Right-click on every partition (picking the right disk!) and choose delete. This process works even If Windows can't mount the drive (in this case, it can't mount it, since it doesn't support ext file systems).
