TRYING TO RESET RN104 GET "NETGEAR STORAGE WELCOME" FOR 1 SEC THEN "BOOT FROM USB"
Good Afternoon. I have a Readynas RN104 that will not boot. It will also not power off by holding the power bouton. The display shows "Boot from USB Failed!"
I followed the instructions to create a Recovery USB and added the required files. I disconnected the power, inserted the recovery USB drive in the front panel, held the backup button and applied power. The system went thru recovery and powered off. I did this several times and it still comes back to "Boot from USB Failed" without the USB installed. Finalily I compleated the recovery process,let the 104 power off and removed the flash drive. I then pressed and held the reset button and powered on the RN104. At this point I get a message "Netgear Storage Welcome" for about 1 sec then it switches to Boot from USB then Boot from USB Failed! I can't get the unit to display the boot Menu.
When I power on the RN104 with or without drives the Backup and Power buttons are both flashing.
Any help you can provide would be great.

You might want to try a different USB recovery drive.
It's possible that the flash has failed - which would be unrepairable. Hopefully it's not that.
