RN10200 Unable to Boot or reset or reinstall OS
My ReadyNAS is invisible to raidAIR and doesn't even show up under my routers connected devices list. I've tried several times to factory reset and it doesn't seem to work. I tried upgrading firmware...
If you remove the disks, will RAIDar see the NAS?
No, it makes no difference. I've read that apparently there was an issue with the 6.4 update, and if I remember, that is the one I tried to install..?

Yes, there was an issue there - described here: http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/29952/~/readynas-os-6%3A-usb-recovery-tool
Some users needed to try multiple USB drives before they found one that worked.
Does it make a difference what firmware I try to use with the OS recovery tool? The help article makes it seem it has to be the same one as the previous failed attempt, but I've been using the most recent one.. Could that be the issue?
When you perform the USB Boot Recovery does the NAS power off when done?
It shouldn't make a difference between 6.4 and 6.5.1.
But between 6.2.5 and 6.4/6.5 it wouldn't be advisable.
