IMG file does not appear in USB Recovery Utility
I have a ReadyNAS 10400 firmware v6.1.8. I have tried to upgrade it to v6.8.1 (didnt read the documentation first) So after booting, it does not boot. Only booting.... message. If Im going to use USB recovery, what firmware version I shoud use? 6.2.5 / 6.3.5 or 6.8.1? Another problem with the utility, it cannot find the .img file Is this the correct path? In the instruction, place it in the marvell folder (but theres no marvell folder) Thanks in advanceReadyNAS 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.
