Reinstall OS after Xpenology

Hello, everything's okay
I bought, second hand, a NAS model Readynas RNDU2000.
However, the seller had installed on Xpenology.
Before selling his NAS, he remove Xpenology and told me that I need just to reinstall the Netgear OS.
I looked around on Netgear's official website and then on Google but I can not find a way to do that.
Can someone give me directions?

In advance, I thank you all for your help.

PS : sorry for my english but I'm frenc

    Hi lovesky,

     

    Welcome to the Community!

     

    You may try accessing the boot menu and then select the OS reinstall there. You may check this article on how to access the boot menu and select the OS reinstall.

      Hello JohnCM_S,

      It doesn't work :'(

      In step 4 : "Continue to press the Reset button until the Power button LED, USB and backup status LED, disk 1 LED, and disk 2 LED illuminate." <--- I've only the Power button LED on , the others no.

      I've try lot of time but without success.

      Always, only the Power button LED is lighting

        Try zeroing one of the disks (WDC's Lifeguard and Seagate's Seatools programs will do this).  Then put that zeroed disk into the NAS by itself, and power it on.  If the USB flash wasn't modified by the seller, the system should do a factory install.

         

        If that fails, you could try doing a USB recovery.  Or maybe contact the seller - they really should have reinstalled the Netgear OS for you.
