ReadyNAS 102 - saving my data from readynas ultra 2

[brback]

I had a Readynas Ultra 2 with 2 * 2 TB disks which were mirrored. Recently the readynas ultra 2 crashed, but the disks remained intact. In hope of recovering the data I was able to borrow a Readynas 102 from a friend, and I have inserted my disks inside. After booting rn102 I could find my disks and data available at the same network shares before, but the problem was that I could no longer access it with my usual login and the web-based admin panel wasn't responding at all. This led me to reinstall the OS in hope of reseting the password. Now I am not able to find the networks share, but the admin page shows up saying the device is offline. The blue power ligt has been blinking from the start as well. I have no clue on what to do next.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what I could do in order to save my data?

Trying to re-install RN102 firmware to the ultra-2 disks was a bad idea.  Contact support.

You could alternatively attempt to mount the data volume in a linux system (perhaps finding a linux live cd).

Was the ultra running OS 4.2 or OS 6?

I am not sure, but probably OS 4.2 (by comparing the gui's in google image search)

You'd have remembered if you'd converted it to OS 6, so you were running OS 4.2.
