the nas sees the 80gb, its recognized when i hit the disk icon but also says corrupt root , the nas also sees both hard drives and displays them also when i hit the disk icons but stills says corrupt root.
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:
