I am not too sure how to do a reinstall as i can't login, i know there is a way to do it using usb but i have looked and it does not seem to do much, am i rigth in thinking it needs an os install and if so how and what do i need to do.
Any help would be Great.
You shouldn't be using USB (at least not yet).
"Corrupt root" usually happens when you are using used disk drives (already formatted). There are three options -
- Do a factory default using the boot menu (see pages 12-13 here: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/RNDU2000/RackMount_HW_2June11.pdf )
- Zero the disks - for instance in a windows PC using Seagate's Seatools or WDC's lifeguard utility.
- Unformat the disks/delete the partitions - for instance in a windows PC using the Windows disk manager
