I've got an Intel easynas 4200-E with 4 1.5TB disks in it in a RAID5.
Today we had a power outage, but the NAS stayed on during the brief outage, as it was connected to a UPS.
When I came and checked my computer, the NAS had an Orange button in the middle of the blue drive buttons and I was unable to access the console. It was locked up and no lights were flashing.
I finally pushed the button on the front to get it to shut down. after a bit it finally shut itself down, and when it rebooted, all four drive lights flashed briefly and then all lights turned orange.
in the console it tells me all 4 drives have data on them that needs to be overwritten, and wants me to click a link to authorize overwriting the data.
I looked on the web and found several people have had this issue. I have tried unplugging each drive 1 at a time and powering up, but with each drive it just says my data is unavailable. each of the drives show up when they are plugged in, so I don't think any of them are bad, but there isn't one obvious bad drive.
I have also tried the factory reset as listed in my guide, but that didn't do anything either.
HELP! I have a bunch of digital pictures on there that I can't lose. I had set up a Second Intel Nas and was in the middle of mirroring them when this happened. The other Nas is running fine but I only have about 1 TB out of the 3.2 TB total.
Any ideas will help, I'm desperate.
Thanks.
Matt
