Did you try doing a factory reset using the boot menu? This is done with the disks installed:
- Power off your system.
- Using a straightened paper clip, press and hold the Reset button.
- Press and release the Power button to power on the system.
- To perform a factory reset, continue to hold the Reset button until all Disk LEDs flash twice (once at 5 seconds and then 25 seconds later), and then release the button.
Make sure you hold the reset button down long enough on step 4.
The reset button is recessed and is on the rear panel:
What does RAIDar say with no drives installed? If it simply says "No drives", then that message likely being caused by drives that were formatted outside the NAS and a factory default is the solution. See How-do-I-access-the-boot-menu-on-my-ReadyNAS-Duo-NV-NV-X6-or-600. If it's something else, you'll likely need a USB restore.
4.1.8 is very old (not that the most recent 4.1.16 is that new), but I recommend you try to get it going with what's already on there before you update the OS.
hi thanks for your reply RAIDar says no disks detected....joe

What happens if you power down the NAS, put the 80 GB drive back in, and then power up?
when i pit the drive into my external dock to view it, it has a NHS drive with windows 10 on, so i formatted it the removed partion so drive was unallocated, put it into readynas and getting same message corrupt image...joe

" i formatted it the removed partion" is a bit contradictory. Did you format it or remove all partitions? The drive can have no partitions at all. That includes no "protective" partitions that some tools cannot remove. While a factory default will typically take care of that, I believe there are some protective partitions that even that can't remove.
sorry i meant corrupt root
