RAIDiator 4.2.31 is not mandatory to use the OS 6
I just want to recover the device...it was really nice device, never a issue or problem
mdgm might have some ideas. My guess is that USB recovery should work. The process is here: https://kb.netgear.com/30267/RAIDiator-4-2-USB-Recovery-Tool If you try it, run usbrecovery.exe with elevated privilege (not stated in the guide).

Try running the USB creation tool as administrator. You may also need to try another device. Make sure you are following all the restrictions, especially that it is FAT formatted and must have only one partition, as don't know how the creation tool will react if they are not met. In some cases, the USB will appear to be fine but not work, but there may be cases where it fails to be created properly. Some devices have a hidden partition (usually associated with encryption), so check for that in Disk Management.
I really hope USB recovery works, as the warning about doing the OS6 conversion on an incompatible system is that you can brick the unit.
