I totally forgot to reply to Gramps suggestion. I ordered the newer version of his suggested USB stick and it worked! I have permanently marked that precious USB stick as my recovery stick for my DX4000. It is very frustrating that WD doesn’t know what is precisely required to perform a recovery on one of their boxes. I don’t understand what is so difficult about writing software that will accept any USB stick with minimum restrictions (like capacity).
My total experience with the DX4000 has totally soured my experience with headless NAS boxes. I am now building my own NAS box with VGA support. It is essential to see what is happening during POST, when you are having issues booting. I will probably gut the drives out the DX4000 and use them in my new box.
Ok, done venting… Thanks again Gramps your suggestion did work and I was able to recovery my box.
