ReadyNAS Ultra 2 plus Corrupt root directory.

Please consult anyone?
I have a ReadyNAS Ultra 2 Plus, where I installed a new HDD.
2 x 1TB WD WD RED WD10EFRX exactly the one that is listed in the compatibility list.
Servever RAIDiator I see, I see the HDD, and when you set pops raid message
Corrupt root directory.
I tried to factory settings in the boot menu and it's the same.
I do not know what to do next. I do not know how to try to reinstall the OS in Nas.
Advise anyone? Thank you.

  • The firmware was corrupt on the internal flash. If you try another factory default (wipes all data, settings, everything) it should work this time.

      Original old WD 500GB can not remember the exact model.
      I wanted to make a new plugin installation (factory restore)
      I backed up data to a PC and then I would go back to the new disks.

        Are you saying you replaced both disks?

         

        Did you format them first?  If so, try zeroing them (or deleting the partitions in Windows).
