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
