Ready NAS DUO v1 Disk Upgrade
Hi, I have the ReadyNAS Duo [X-RAID], RAIDiator 4.1.15 [1.00a043] on WIN 10. I only use it to download with transmission so i have a 1GB drive on slot 1 and have no need for a second drive. I want...
Are you using the NAS admin credentials? Those are required to access C.
Also, you need to change the default password (at least you do on OS6, and of course you should do it anyway).
When I access the \nas-ip\admin page I use the admin credential, when I access the drive using windows file explorer and network where it shows the nas it doesn't ask me for username and password, it just opens and shows media and backup.
I'm pretty sure that on the admin page on the shares tab besides media and backup i also had c as a share and it showed up everywhere without any problem.
I don't remember how i had done it but i'm sure it was in the shares too...
I've changed the password while in the wizard setup after the reset...
Thanks again!!!

There are a couple of ways to fix this. One is to set up a windows credential in the windows credential manager for either the IP address or the hostname, that specifiies the admin credential. If you (for instance) use just the IP address, then any SMB access using the IP address will automatically use the admin credentials,but SMB access using the hostname will not.
If you only want temporary access to the C volume you can open CMD and enter
net use * /delete
net use t: \\nas-ip-address\c ./user:admin nas-admin-password
Be careful on spaces and slash direction, and of course use the real values for the stuff in italics. That should mount the C volume as drive letter t.
I rebooted the NAS and had it do all the checks and now it shows addons-config as shared and when I try to access it it asks for user/pass and I use admin and then it also shows c and everything... so that seems solved too!!!
Thanks guys for the help!!!
So I suppose now if everything is set correctly when I add another drive it will add a D: drive or do I have to do anything???
I know you suggested going to a WD red but since I only had a green I went with it. If I add a second drive and transfer everything to it could I simply remove the first (WD GREEN) and replace that too or will it destroy everything?
Thanks again!!!

With RAID-0 you'd need to save off your data, then create a new volume with the new disk. After that, restore the data.

It will add a D: drive. It's not fully automatic like XRAID. See pages 19-23 here: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/RND2110/RAIDiator4-1_SW_en_06Dec11.pdf
