I've been running a ReadyNAS Duo V2 for about three years with a WinXP machine. No problems whatsoever. I have recently retired that m/c and replaced it with a Win7 x64 machine. I've used much the ...
Thank you for your two replies.
I AM confused about the labelling. The hardware's not much help, but the CD that came with it says it's a 'ReadyNAS Duo RND2000 Series. That does appear to have had a 'V2', so probably that's where I'm confused.
I downloaded new firmware yesterday. That's RAIDiator 4.1.9, but (in the light of version confusion) I suspect I should not have done that, as I read somewhere on the NetGear site that the V1 and V2 firmware were not compatible. However, it appears to be running without difficulty. The access problem arose before installing it, and I did that in the hope it would solve the problem. Probably I should go back and download the right firmware. (It's odd that it installed without complaint).
Yes, I can access one drive, but not the other. Both drives are NTFS.
I checked the sharing on the two drives: IslayData (the one I CAN access) has Advanced Sharing set to 'Everyone - Read'. LungaData (which I can't access) has 'Everyone - Full Control', so in that respect it's MORE permissive. Cutting it back to 'Read' didn't help any. I have also tried disregarding the folder 'documentsTim' in both cases, and tried just accessing the drives as:
HOST: Lunga; PATH: IslayData (success)
HOST: Lunga; PATH: LungaData (failure).
The only other obvious difference between the drives is size: LungaData is a 800GB (approx) partition on a 1TB drive, IslayData is a 150GB drive. The drives in the ReadyNAS are 500GB each (mirrored, can't recall the RAID number). But the data (in 'documentsTim') I'm trying to back up is nowhere near that size. In accessing the drive only (as above) could the size discrepancy make a problem ?
I will report back when I know I've got the right firmware.
Later: RAIDiator 4.1.9 seems to be OK for my product.
