SOS-MAYDAY Problems after installing new drive #25819626
I have a Readynas 104, running OS6.2.5
It was populated with 3 500Gb HDD's one of which showed signs of failing. I removed the failing HDD a few days ago, and all my files were fine, the volum...
So in an effort to get back to the status quo, I reoved the 2Tb HDD.
I now get a message on the front panel telling me I have now hace 'used' disks installed and to use RAIDar.
RAIDar tells me there is data on the disks but only gives me the option to format. Of course there is data on the disks. I put it there when they were instaled in the readynas before I tried to add a new disk.
The ReadyNAS admin page on the web GUI now tells methat it is offline.
I bought this thing because it was supposed to be simple to use and easy to replace disks when they went wrong. Simple is proving to be anything but!
FWIW, it sounds like you did everything correctly, and it should have worked.
If you have no backup, I would contact support (support.netgear.com).
How do I get the 2 red HDD's with all my data back online?
