ReadyNAS Duo RND2000 not booting - no disks detected
My ReadyNAS Duo was working fine yesterday - as far as I know, both disks were OK. I beleive the firmware is up-to-date but has not changed recently. I copied a large number of photos onto it and all seemed well initially but I did not check them as the process too a long time (perhaps longer than usual). Later the device would not shut off as usual so I disconnected and tried to reboot. Various patterns were observed and Raidar was unable to find it. I have seen it with the power light on steady but no other lights. I powered off and removed the disks to try one or two in the two slots. The current sitiuation is that it will not detect disks. Raidar will now find it. Currently the power light is flashing but I can turn it off by holding it down, as usual. It will restart with no disks inserted and can then be discovered using raidar but with useful options greyed out. The power light is flashing and the two LEDs are flashing in a pattern of 2 slow flashes followed by 3 fast ones. Inserting a disk (or two) seems to have little effect. Any ideas? I was thinking about replacement as it's 6 years old and well out of warranty. I'd rather like to be able to access the data!Ready NAS 102 in accessible (corrupt root)
Netgear Community: I have been using a ReadyNAS DUO V2 device with a single WDC WD20EFRX 2TB HDD without issue. At this time, the device is not accessible, does not register as being on my home network. As of November 24, I found the device inaccessible, and have been looking for answers. With the help of RAIDar 6.2 (for Windows), I see I have a "Status: corrupt root", the "Firmware" is *blank*, the IP address is shown, and the single drive installed in the device shows with a green check mark, and a capacity of about 1863GB. I attempted an "OS reinstall" prior to finding RAIDar and the fact that the LEDs were controlled by the "Backup" button suggest the enclosure itself is operable. I have seen the reference for a "USB recovery" along with the cautions that this ONLY be initiated through Netgear support. My questions are: 1. Is the content of the HDD presumed to be intact (based on the green check mark of RAIDar)? 2. Can >this< HDD be loaded into another, newer (current) Netgear product, and have its content intact and accessible? 3. Can the HDD be accessed *outside* of the ReadyNAS enclosure? 4. If I purchase and install a NEW, unitialized HDD, would that achieve a recovery, such that I could return the current disk to Bay 1, then initiate a RAID operation to the *new* disk in Bay 2? 5. Can the USB recovery process be executed WITHOUT having a HDD installed in the ReadyNAS device? Thanks in advance for your helpful replies.ReadyNAS 1100 Bit the Dust in a Move. Any ideas for me?
In the madness of a home move, I left my readynas in my desk. I never dreamed the movers would flip the desk up on its side, but when I saw them do it and I heard my ReadyNAS flop around, I realized it could be a very bad thing. So, I just got my NAS out to power it up and upon putting the cord in and turning it on, nuttin.... No lights, no sounds. Just deadness. So, my thoughts are... Could it just be the power supply? Is there a way to test that? In worst case scenario, can I just take all the drives out and install them into my desktop in a raid formation and pick up where I left off? Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated! Craig
