One disk should be enough (it shouldn't be part of the array).

Are you still running 4.2.31?

What status is RAIDar giving you?

Hi!

I have one 2 TB disk,

What disk system shall I choose?

1. Expandable Volum (X-RAID2)   (dont show admin page)
2. Flexible Volum (Flex-raid) (dont show admin page)
3. Erase Volum (not tried)

Still on 4.2.31

Raidar telling Healhy.

Best regards

With one disk, it really doesn't matter what you choose, since you will be running jbod anyway.

If the disk is formatted, then the system might need you to do a factory default with the boot menu.  There will be a delay (10 minutes) before the default starts - that is intended to give you time to override the xraid/flexraid mode via RAIDar.  Another option is to zero or unformat the disk in a windows PC.  If the disk is unformatted, the NAS should automatically do a factory install on power up.

Note that choosing the xraid/flexraid mode doesn't work with RAIDar 6.5, so if you are trying to do that then you should just wait the 10 minutes.

Hi!

I am using 4.2.31. Using usbrecovery I got it to work. The admin page is blank. Not able to setup anything. I have tried Factory Default and OS Reinstall. Waited 10 minutes. Nothing helps. Hope you have tip for me!

Hi!

Something wrong with the model name Look at attached file

You probably need help from Netgear to repair the flash.  The mods ( JohnCM_S and Marc_V ) might be willing to take a look remotely.  Paid Netgear support is another option, since you are running 4.2.x firmware.

FWIW, you don't need to mask a local (private) IP address, since it is not routable over the internet.

It gets all that from the DMI, so it's properly identifying the hardware.  But it gets the serial number and unit type (ProBE, Pro Pioneer, Pro6, or Ultra6Plus, all of which use the same motherboard) from an encrypted file in flash.  With OS4.2.x, that matters, because different models have different options enabled in the software.  Since your flash was corrupted, it appears that file was too.  As StephenB said, the way to potentially get that fixed is to ask one of the mods to do it for you.  They'll need a photo of the model and serial number label and the unit in support mode.  The encryption key and file format have not been made public, so you can't fix it yourself.

BTW, your BIOS is the most up to date one available.

Hi!

Thanks!

Shall I upload picture here?

Send a private message (PM) to the mods - JohnCM_S and Marc_V  - asking for their help.  You send that using the envelope icon in the upper right of the forum page.  Put the photo in the PM, there's no reason to post it publicly.

Send the photo and the support mode code.

Hi!

Photo and code send as PM
