Remove inactive volumes to use the disk. Disk #1,2,3,4.
Had an error on drive 3, had it replaced. Notice: data restored successfully. Then got notice that drive 2 had errors. Went to investigate and now says: Remove inactive volumes to use the disk. Dis...
if it is booted and you can get to the system management page, go to system > settings > factory default
otherwise, you could do it from the boot menu, but that is a little more involved.
there is a recessed button on the back of the nas, you would need to power up while the button is pressed until you get the boot menu on the lcd screen, press the backup button to cycle through modes, press the button in the back to activate the selected mode.
if you have a device without lcd display, see also @ https://kb.netgear.com/22892/How-do-I-access-the-boot-menu-on-my-ReadyNAS-102-202-212-or-312?cid=wmt_netgear_organic
Thanks for the reply. No joy with reboot. Fortunately I do have backups. However, looking for direction on how to troubleshoot and either recreate, or start over with backups.

Can you send in the logs (see the Sending Logs link in my sig)?
Sent logs, thank you.

You should contact support if you want to purchase a data recovery contract for a data recovery attempt.
Thank you for your reply. Can you help me understand what those logs mean. I assume disk 3 that I replaced with a new one is good?? Or is that brand new disk bad as well. Does 2/4 in the log mean 2 out of 4 disks failed? Which disks? Just replace disk 2 as well and I should be good? Thanks again.
