ReadyNas Pro 2 (RNDP2000) failed to boot

Hi all,

 

After an update (4.2.27 -> 4.2.28) My ReadyNas Pro 2 doesn't boot anymore.

I have tried to fully erase (low level format) my 2 HDD 1To of my Nas, then put them in my readynas & boot into factory default. The Nas switch to install mode (I saw in Raidar) then disapear from raidar and after a couple of day later I can't access the admin page of readynas.

 

I've tried to install only 1 disk, a do a factory default, creating an X-raid2 area. Same Issue

I've tried to install only 1 disk, a do a factory default, creating no volume area. Same Issue

 

I don't know if a USB Flash recovery will work. I don't know to do it on a readyNas Pro 2.

 

If somoene can help me ...

 

Thank you

  • As I suspected a file on the internal flash was corrupt. I have fixed this.

    This is a problem that can occur in some cases but it would only be an issue when doing a factory default.

    Hi macgyom,

     

    Try to set it up and connect the device directly to your PC. Also, if you have a spare drive we could further isolate if the issue is with the hard drives or with the ReadyNAS.

     

     

    Kind regards,
