Failed to update RAIDiator 4.2.31 to 6.x
Dear experts. In order to update/disable the SMB1 of the device for company security reasons today I tried to update my fantastic ReadyNas 2100 , I updater to the version RAIDiator 4.2.31 without ...

If is the V1 what can I do? I dont mind to use the version
RAIDiator 4.2.31 is not mandatory to use the OS 6
I just want to recover the device...it was really nice device, never a issue or problem
mdgm might have some ideas. My guess is that USB recovery should work. The process is here: https://kb.netgear.com/30267/RAIDiator-4-2-USB-Recovery-Tool If you try it, run usbrecovery.exe with elevated privilege (not stated in the guide).
I tried that tool also , but gives me error on windows 10 x64 (side-by side error) and I was unable to run and create the USB for recovery.
Edit this coment: I am trying from home and the tool worked OMG!!
in the company computers was not worked, sure a security policy!!!
I am so happy tomorrw I will try to recover with the usb created at home!!!
I will reply tomorrow
Hello everyone
finally I recovered my devide!!!
thank you so much!!!!
I see that is version 1 so as you told me I can not update to OS6 no?

Great!
The V1 has a 32-bit Intel CPU. OS6 for x86_64 requires a 64-bit Intel CPU. That's why it won't work on your V1.understood, thanks so much for your help!!! I really appreciate!!!
have a fantastic weekend!!!
Try running the USB creation tool as administrator. You may also need to try another device. Make sure you are following all the restrictions, especially that it is FAT formatted and must have only one partition, as don't know how the creation tool will react if they are not met. In some cases, the USB will appear to be fine but not work, but there may be cases where it fails to be created properly. Some devices have a hidden partition (usually associated with encryption), so check for that in Disk Management.
I really hope USB recovery works, as the warning about doing the OS6 conversion on an incompatible system is that you can brick the unit.
