so after much desperation and reading the forums I tried disconnecting the hard drive to see if it would at least power up and not beep all the time. Well I booted it in EM and the TFPT server pulled in the files and then the updater found the unit, so I plugged the drive back in and tried again but it was back to bad news again. So I plugged a spare drive into the unit and let it write a firmware and its all back up and running!! I just finished restoring everything and am very happy. Thank you very much for all your support!
