ReadyNAS NVX - Force USB Firmware Install??

[smc]

Was trying to install firmware and it totally froze on "Booting...". I've tried Factory Default. I've tried OS Reinstall. Nothing works. I've removed the drives and installed a single formatted drive. Same thing.

Question: Can I somehow get it to install the Firmware (4.2.?) from a USB drive? I've installed a USB drive with the firmware, but when I boot with the reset button pressed, I don't get a menu option for USB Boot. I thought it should recognise the USB drive if it's intalled (it's a generic thumb drive that other units see when I plug it in).

Open to suggestions.

That is not the process to do USB Boot Recovery.

There is an article here: http://home.bott.ca/webserver/?p=166

You can replace the firmware included in the zip file with the latest.

Hmmm... when I click on the link I get the message below...

"Error establishing a database connection"

 Any ideas? Tried it in a couple of different browsers.
