OS6 now works on x86 Legacy WARNING: NO NTGR SUPPORT!
Update: It is now unofficially possible using NTGR images to update legacy hardware to os6.X See Post #3, for directions to install 6.2.1 on x86 Ultra and Pro Models. (ARM NOT SUPPORTED by this OS) ...
mdgm and I have decided that its time to lock this thread. So please do post any new OS6 on Legacy issues on their own threads.

I tried using the instructions from http://netgear.nas-central.org/wiki/OS6_on_Legacy_x86 and it seems everything goes okay until I try to upload the firmware....I am uploading 4.2.24 and it says "File uploaded is not ReadyNASOS" and won't proceed.
troy14 I just sent you a PM with an image you can use to downgrade.

With this you make a usb bootable !
But careful, when i try this instructions that doesn't work on the usb front panel, but working with the firt rear usb port.
USB Boot Recovery isn't advisable except as a last resort. There is the possibility when doing USB Boot Recovery that you may corrupt the EEPROM data.
Far better to upload a firmware image to downgrade via the Dashboard where it is possible.
