The OS partition is stored on all disks. If the firmware on the disks doesn't match what is in the flash, the NAS will try to update the OS from the flash. Note that may result in either a downgrade or an upgrade.

did Netgear store parts of the OS on the disks?
It may be an issue when disks with an old firmware/OS are restored in a unit whith a newer firmware.

If the firmware is very different, it is a good idea to install a scratch disk on the NAS first, and then manually install the correct version. After that, power down and insert the "real" disks.
