ReadyNAS NV+ RND4000 ERR:BAD FIRMWARE
Please help... I have been running a Netgear ReadyNAS NV+ RND4000 for a few years now, but after a unanticipated power out, which also drained the UPS supporting it (I came home to find this out) t...
Thanks for the replies and the help thus far to all of you.
Situation is now this, as suggested I got my hands on another Netgrear NV+ RND 4000 with 4 x 2Tb drives (from a very generous mate), we ran a full OS re-install on his and let it rebuild the volume, then I put his drives in my unit and did a full OS re-install on mine. It reset my unit fine and worked A1, then i put my drives back in my unit but on boot still got ERR:BAD FIRMWARE.
So does this mean one of my drives has bad firmware? my unit is a V3 his is not (at least it does not say V3 on the back of it). Should I out my drives in his unit and see what happens? Again remembering I am trying to recover the data...
Or should I try and swap one drive at a time in my unit with one of his good drives and let it rebuild the raid (I am running RAIDX)? Bearing in mind they are different model and make drives but still 2 Tb each. I can not find out which drive is faulty in mine assuming that is the problem as I can not log onto it.
Your further assistance is ever so invaluable.
Cheers guys!
