ReadyNas Duo RND2000 V2 All leds flashing, can't boot or reset.
I just dusted off my old ReadyNAS and bought 2 new 2TB HDD's (WD Red).
I bought the thing, but never used it so I'm pretty new to this NAS stuff..
Problem is; I start it up, but the fan speed pulsates loudly, and all but the led above "backup" button flash, including the power button. 3 "short" flashes followed by 3ish? really fast flashes (couldn't count them).
It doesn't seem to boot up, I can't factory reset or reinstall OS (holding reset button while powering on and holding it for 30 sec for factory reset or 5 sec for reinstall).
Either I don't understand the "led blinking guide", or this issue aren't described in the guide.
Anyone seen this issue before?

LED blink behavior for 2 disk systems is three quick blinks of all disk LEDs and the backup LED, followed by an 1s delay, followed by a number of slow blinks. The number of slow blinks will be the error code.
Current error codes:
1 - Vendor mismatch
2 - No disks detected
3 - Bad contents on root partition of disks
4 - Flash error
5 - Unsupported RAID configurationSounds like "bad contents on root partitions of disks".
Did you format the drives before inserting them in the NAS?
Hi, no the HDD's are brand new but i figured the ReadyNAS would format them itself by performing a factory reset?
