Use only supported disks in your ReadyNAS storage system. If you use non-supported disks, 
NETGEAR technical support will not provide assistance.

Previously Formatted Disks

You must take care when using previously formatted disks in your ReadyNAS unit, as 
described in the following table.

ReadyNAS unit has no disks 
(diskless)

Turn the unit off and insert the disk as described in 

40. Then, perform a factory default reboot as described in the boot 

menu section for your ReadyNAS unit:

1500 and 2100 

3100 

3200 and 4200 

This process erases all data and reformats the previously formatted 

disk to X-RAID2. 

If you try to use a previously formatted disk in your unit without following this 
process, the unit will indicate that the disk is corrupt. 

ReadyNAS unit is operating with 
one or more disks

With the unit running, insert the disk in an empty disk bay as described in 

same format as your existing disks. 

This process erases all data on the previously formatted disk.
