    I've done both, but that screen shot is the /admin url

    Thx.

     

    I agree with Sandshark that this symptom looks like a corrupt VPD file.

     

    Only Netgear can fix it, hopefully one of the mods will offer to help - Marc_V or JeraldM

There are the files I used, including 2 OS6 files, and I edited the xml to include them in the USB creator inventory

Here is the creator GUI showing the option I added (PRO)

 

Does this seem correct for creating a v6.0 recovery USB drive?

No.  Prep4tor6 shouldn't be there at all.  And you should be using the OS 4.2 recovery tool with an OS 6 image.  You shouldn't need to modify any XML.

    When I run usbrecovery.exe I get "The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail." on 2 different laptops. I'm going to try on an older OS laptop, but I'm wondering if the file is corrupt on the source D/L server.

      Was able to make the recovery USB from an older laptop. When I try to boot (with USB inserted, holding down front panel backup button for 30 sec) it goes through the American Megatrends BIOS screen, then goes blank after checks. If I Ctrl-Alt-Del, it reboots and goes through the boot screens again. Checked BIOS is set to boot off USB.

        Anything on the LCD screen?

         

        Have you tried a different USB stick?
