While I've not tried it on an NVX, most units that shipped with RAIDiator 4.2.x aren't picky about the contents of the contents of the USB drive when you choose to boot from USB using the procedure you normally use for USB recovery:  RAIDiator-4-2-USB-Recovery-Tool  I've successfully booted even MS-DOS on a Pro6 that way.  Most do not have a BIOS option to automatically boot from USB, but the NVX may be different.
