ReadyNAS Ultra 2 won't boot after power failure

Hi my Power Supply for my ReadyNAS is broken. I have now borrowed a new. But after I connected it to then boot it up properly. None of the lights to the disk are lit and I can not access the web interface, and raidar can not find it either. However, I can ping it well. I have tried to access the boot menu to reinstall oset. Unsuccessfully. I have tried to take out the disks and put them back without making any difference. Are there anyone who can help me so I can move the data to a usb hard drive? Regards Kenneth

  • It sounds like there might have been other damage when the power brick failed.  Does RAIDar find the Ultra when there are no disks installed?

     

    If you can connect one of the disks to a windows PC (sata or via a USB adapter) you might try R-linux for Windows ( http://www.r-tt.com/free_linux_recovery/ ).  It should be able to read the data volume for single-disk and RAID-1 volumes.

      Raidar can't find it with the disks disconnected. I think I may give R-linux a go.

      Is it easy to use, since I am not that great with Linux

        It's a windows program that supports the ext disk format used by your NAS, so it doesn't require any linux skills.
