Ultra 6 - Dead drive, Replaced but won't Rebuild #24999085

I have a ReadyNAS Ultra 6 in Raid 6 which was 98% full. RAIDiator 4.2.25

Wed Jan 7 12:56:48 NZDT 2015 Disk failure detected.
Wed Jan 7 12:57:01 NZDT 2015 ..... If this disk is a part of a RAID 6 volume, your volume is still protected if this is your first failure. A 2nd disk failure will make your volume unprotected. If this disk is a part of a RAID 10 volume,your volume is still protected if more than half of the disks alive. But another failure of disks been marked may render that volume dead. It is recommended that you replace the failed disk as soon as possible to maintain optimal protection of your volume.


Powered down system and left off as could not deal with it all due to unrelated pc issues at the same time :(

Finally brought new drive. Being umm "blonde" I turned the unit off to replace the drive. Spend Feb turning everything on and off to see if noticed drive. Nada.
