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
