0 gadreel Posted March 7, 2021 Share #2 Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) Did you wipe also the USB with the bootloader? I am not 100% sure but I think if you wipe the HD drives is not enough. Edited March 7, 2021 by gadreel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 gadreel Posted March 7, 2021 Share #4 Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) What about the USB bootloader? Did you wipe the USB and tried to a make a new one? Edited March 7, 2021 by gadreel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 amikot Posted March 7, 2021 Share #6 Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) I think you have 2 options: Recover and than wipe harddrives in DSM menu remove hard drives and wipe them using PC. Redooing USB bootloader stick is not necessary. Edited March 7, 2021 by amikot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 IG-88 Posted March 8, 2021 Share #10 Posted March 8, 2021 depends on your experience, win10's gui tool can be picky about removing partitions and diskpart (cmd) is not so easy to handle (if never used before) linux is fine, cfdisk is easier to handle then just fdisk you could use GParted when you use "startx" after boot with "SystemRescue" (bootable from usb) https://www.system-rescue.org/disk-partitioning/Standard-partitioning-tools/ its pretty straight forward with a gui, delete partitonts click apply and thats it on windows MiniTool Partiton Wizard Free - its easy to use as its more graphical, https://www.partitionwizard.com/ i often use dmde (https://dmde.com), more recovery tool but can be used for that too in the free version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Onknight Posted March 8, 2021 Author Share #11 Posted March 8, 2021 I can't get it to go I deleted the pations with G-parted but once get into Bootloader I reinstall the OS it puts me back into Recovery mode so GIVE UP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 amikot Posted March 8, 2021 Share #12 Posted March 8, 2021 There is no need to wipe the drives completely. Only partition table must be cleared. It can be done easily from on linux with GParted or on windows10 with diskpart console tool. If after installation you landing constantly in recovery mode it may be caused by faulty drive. I had identical problem. I was struggling to install Xpenology and was thnking there is something wrong with bootloader, whilst the real cause was faulty HDD. I had bad sectors and after NAS could not boot from hard drive. So my suggestion is to try another drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
