    I had something similar. Can you check these two things to see if it is what occurs in my situation
    
    1) in windows when the USB Disk is plugged in and not recognised can you see it in explorer
    2) when the USB Disk is plugged in and not recognised in windows explorer can you see it the share page of the NETGEAR web page as an smb share
    
    if you can see it on the Netgear web page as SMB share but not in windows explorer then it is an issue with smb.conf in the os of the NAS
