    Getting access to my data on Synology NAS


    Hi, I have a problem with my Synology DS211j – please any help would be appreciated:
    I bought the Synology NAS about a year ago but after setting-up the NAS I had a stroke :-(.
    I am now trying to re-lean my NASs but am struggling with my Synology:
    I can see the NAS has two disk – a 1Gb disk “Not installed”, and a 2Gb disk “Installed”. As I think I should have some important data, I need to work out what I have on the 2Gb disk or possible even on the 1 Gb disk?
    So the 2Gb disk says it is installed but I don’t know how to get to the data from the disk (and I’m trying to be careful so that I don’t lose the data)?
    ny advise on the steps on get ting access to the date would be really appreciated!

    You should be able to goto the ip of the NAS and see the files or open the control panel for it in a browser

    Thanks!
    I can see the NAS has two disks - one "Not installed" and one "Initialized".
    But I can't work out how to turn the disk that is "Initializes" into the status where I can see the data on the disk?
    Cheers!
