Readynas ultra 6 won't go past readynas screen
Ho all, after many years I've decided to tackle my readymas issue. I had an issue with it 3 years back and paid a tech to look at it, he said 2 drives had collapsed and replaced them. It worked again...
We tried to access the boot menu, it won't go past the readynas screen. We did as mentioned in paperwork and held in the reset button and nothing past readynas screen.
Took all drives out and tested, it comes up with no drives, so assume its working still.
It could certainly be one or more of the drives, but you can't rule out the NAS power supply at this point.
It'd be helpful to know exactly what drives are installed. Perhaps post pictures of the labels on them?
If your kids can try connecting the drives (one at a time) to a Windows PC, they could run vendor diags to check them. They'd likely need a USB adapter/dock to do that.
Make sure the NAS is powered down when you remove and reinsert the drives.
Thanks! They do have a usb dock and currently checking drives. So far looks like two are possibly faulty.
They tried running disc management and it wouldn't show, so they are investigating further. I was running it in raid, I cant recall which ibe, I think it was raid 5. Not sure if that's causing the running up issue.
