If it already started re-syncing, it's too late. It's going to copy what's on the drive it decided was primary (probably the one in slot 1) to the other. Trying to stop it now is likely to do more harm than good. A Pro2 should have enough CPU power that you should be able to access it while it syncs, it just might be a bit sluggish. How are you trying to access it, SMB, NFS, Frontview? Are you using RAIDar to determine the IP address, or something else?

Thanks, i managed to stop it and now accessed the drive by directly connecting it to my Windows computer. I guess the files and directories that I'm seeing now are all Linux files, but does anyone know the path to the shares? /usr, /var, etc. are the folders I'm seeing.

Thank you :)

  On OS 4.x, the user shares are in /c.

    If you don't see /c, then try again using the other disk. On v1 NAS, you'll only see /c on one of the two drives (the RAID mirror is in an area of the disk that has no partition).
    
    There is no such thing as a ProDuo v2; it might be good to tell us what model you actually have. If you post the product label on the back, we can tell the model from that.
    
    Alternatively, look at the firmware label on the back (which tells you the firmware that was originally shipped on the NAS).
    
    if the original firmware was 4.2.x, then you have a pro-2, an ultra-2 or an ultra-2 plus. If product label (on the back) has a "P" in it ( RNDP2000), then you have a Pro-2, if it has a "U" in it ( RNDU2000), then you have an ultra-2. If it has both (RNDP200U) you have an ultra-2 plus.
    
    if the original firmware was 4.1.x then you have a duo v1
    
    if the original firmware was 5.x.x then you have a duo v2.
