ReadyNAS NV+ V2 boot menu won't toggle
Hi community, I'm wanting to factory reset my ReadyNAS NV+V2, but when I boot with the Reset button pressed down it won't let me choose any Boot Menu other than Normal. Is there any way of going ...
What firmware is your NAS running?
One reason for asking is that the product labels are confusing, and many v1 owners think they have a v2.
A v1
- runs 4.1.x firmware
- has -100XXX at the end of the part number (XXX is either NAS or a country-specific code)
- might say v2 or v3 on the back label, even though it is a v1.
A v2
- runs 5.3.x firmware
- has -200XXX at the end of the part number
- says v2 on the front panel
Thanks for the reply. Firmware is 5.3.13.
I also think I've figured out a long-hand way of starting from scratch, by booting the NAS with a fully formatted disk, which then went through the whole startup process....

Normally you'd do this with a blank disk. The NAS will do a fresh factory install if the disk(s) are blank. But an NTFS formatted disk might have the same effect.
It doesn't take much longer actually, once you get it started you go through the full setup either way.
Still, the reset should have worked. Were you following the steps as list on page 24-25 here? http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/RND2110/ReadyNAS_Duov2_NV+v2_HW_en_23-Mar-12.pdf
