So i figured it out. i already had a usb to rs232 converter but what i didn't know is that i needed an rs232 TTL with the "TTL" being the important part. Who knew? So once i got the correct adapter i hooked up to the switch and followed the instructions at http://www.dutn.nl/repairs/reparaties_gs724t.html just make sure you flash the original firmware off of netgears site and then upgrade from there. also make sure you make what ever image you upload to the switch "active" which is what i did not do before upgrading the switch in the first place.
