Did you use a stock ATX supply? If so, did you modify the pinout?
Also, does the NVX respond differently with the disks removed?

Get a linux boot DVD (or flash), and then you can start with these instructions: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/mounting-NVX-disks-in-linux/td-p/829409 That assumes the array wasn't damaged by the PSU failure.
If it's time for a new NAS anyway, then you can migrate to an x86 OS6 NAS with Netgear's help. Instructions are here: https://kb.netgear.com/29957/ReadyNAS-Migrating-disks-from-RAIDiator-4-2-to-ReadyNAS-OS-6-x86?cid=wmt_netgear_organic

Yes I modified it, the PSU and the NAS powers up but the NAS doesnt really start.
The responde of the NVX is the same with or without disks.
Maybe you know a software for windows? Or the RAID Parameters for X-RAID2?
The costumer don't want to migrate to a new NAS.

Recovery software like ReclaiMe would work, but is expensive.
It'd be cheaper and more direct to use a bootable USB live drive, so you'd run x86 linux on the PC. Then use the link I shared above.
Ok, thank you.
I'm not that used with linux...Now I made a USB Stick with linux Mint, I will try it as soon as possible.
Let you know the result, thank you in the mean time.
Thank you a lot!
I really have no clue what the commands do but it showed me the whole content of the nas and I was able to copy nearly everything!
Thank you again, perfect solution!
