Hello JennC,

Thanks for the answer but I got the data using Linux Reader.
Therefore I've tried to format the 2 drives with the Default factory boot mode but it was running for more than 24 hours and never finished.

I tried to format drive into my computer with windows disk manager and I succeed.

Hello Kakik5280,

ReadyNAS formats drives to EXT3. To recover data from the drive/s you may need to mount it to a Linux computer. This procedure is beyond NETGEAR scope of support as they do not have training for this since you will be dealing with the disks/drive's settings.
