Thanks all for the help and advice. In the end a kindly netgear support remoted in using using tech support mode and fixed it. I presume it was the firmware on the flash, nothing else has changed.
Attach the disks to a Windows PC (either SATA or with a USB adaptor), and unformat the drives. One way is to use Seatools or Lifeguard to zero the disk. Or use windows disk manager - selecting each "volume" and deleting it.
Then reinsert the drives, and boot the NAS. It will do a factory install (since the drives are blank).

Used Lifeguard to check and Zero fill the drives - Still corrupt root
Is there a way to reinstall firmware onto the internal flash? Seems to me that may be the issue?
