RN104 crashed and stuck at "booting" or "Updating"[FW 6.2.2]
ReadyNAS RN104 – 5 months old, so now out of 90 day warranty 2x 3TB Seagate ST3000VN000 in XRAID2 mode. Though the 90 day phone/chat support has expired, there is an email support ticket (# 24562661...
If you do a factory reset with just the scratch drive installed, then you can certainly power down and reinsert the original disks.
The reset installs the OS on the disks (and recreates the data partition). So doing the reset on the scratch drive won't have any effect at all on your 3-disk array.
But when you install new firmware, it is applied to the disks and also saved in the NAS flash. So If you were to change the firmware (with the scratch disk in place), then the NAS would attempt to apply that firmware to the other disks when you restart. So be careful/intentional on that.
