Stuck booting. ReadyNAS NVX
Hi Everyone.
I was given a ReadyNAS NVX from my neighbor that is stuck at “Booting...”. He gave it to me knowing that I have a ReadyNAS box.
I have been reading a lot on here and on Google about what to do. I created a USB recovery stick and had no luck. Everything in the Boot Menu hangs, except for the memory test.
Here is my worry. About a month ago I told him about the new 6.0 software that I was running on my ReadyNAS, but told him I don’t think it would work on his since his was 32 bit only. I am willing to bet that he tried to do the upgrade.
Im borrowing a USB / Serial cable to connect to the NVX tonight to see what is happening, but any heads up or thoughts would be great. I am afraid that he might have bricked it trying to get the 6 software on it...
Thanks in advance....

After 6 USB sticks, and constant messing around with Disk Part, USB recovery 6 (which I kow wont work with my 32 bit box), USB recovery 4, Formating the USB in OSX and Windows...
I dont know what happen, but I booted off the USB!!
It did its thing, and the box shut down. On reboot I got an error, but booted to factory reset... Bingo Im back in business!
