unable to access NAS Drive
Hi All,
our Ready Nas Duo 2 v1 (I believe from searches through these forums) seem to be under the weather. it was all working well yesterday morning then yesterday afternoon it went down ...
If you need to offload data, then I suggest connecting disk 1 to a Windows PC (usb adapter/dock is ok), and use r-linux for windows. https://www.r-studio.com/free-linux-recovery/Download.shtml
After you extract the data, I'd test both disks with vendor tools (seatools for seagate; lifeguard for western digitial). If the drives are ok, then either do a quick-zero (lifeguard) or remove the partitions (windows disk manager). Reinsert them into the Duo, and power it up - it should then do a fresh factory install.
Hi Stephen
ok thanks i'll see what i can do. One thing i shouldve mentioned is that on rebooting the device initally (yesterday afternoon) the blue power light started blinking. i presumed this was its way of saying im rebooting (thats how my WD NAS works) but it was still doingthat this morning. Can you clarify what the blinking (1 per sec) blue light means?
Is it a pattern of faster and slower blinks?
hi Stephen,
Seems to be pretty continious 1 blink a second. no disceranable pattern. I've got a video of the unit on the below link if that helps
