No volume exists

[trentm1]

I have a Readynas RN10200

Following a lost admin password I did an OS reset using the boot menu method described at: https://kb.netgear.com/22891/How-do-I-access-the-boot-menu-on-my-ReadyNAS-104-204-214-or-314 and now unable to access my data.

When I login to the admin page using the default admin/password there is a message indicating that "No volumes exsist" and a recomendation to create one before continuing. There is also a notification informing me to remove inactive volums to use disk. Disk #1,2,3,4 (see screenshot at:  but at this stage I have not removed any disks in case I do additional damage. This was my primary (and only) backup device so I'm hoping someone can help retrieve my data.

You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:

ReadyNAS Network Storage: Official NETGEAR Community

Those things are very different from the standard Netgear routers covered in this section.

I will ask the Netgear moderator to move your message.

In the meantime you could visit the support pages:

Support | NETGEAR

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware. Look at the label on the device for the model number.

You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.

I mention it because Netgear stopped supplying printed manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.
