[SOLVED!] I goofed up my GoFlex NET

Hello All,

I recently bought a used GoFlex NET from Amazon, all was well, I wrote to the PogoPlug guys they activated it, got SSH going.

Tried to install Arch Linux and went crazy as I was not able to SSH, MAC address was not getting set so was unable to allow DHCP on my router, after a lot of troubleshooting, got alarm in my router IP list did a SSH and restored the PogoPlug using http://www.mydigitallife.info/how-to-re-enable-pogoplug-service/ and original link for GoFlex NET from here http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,11070,11085,quote=1

All was well, got SSH and bash back with my correct MAC address. I then tried Jeff's doozan Wheezy script, at the last step I got an error "W: Failure trying to run: chroot" just before I rebooted i.e. before changing password and setting the zone for updates, I rebooted and could not SSH or see the IP of my device.

I had installed via SSH on a USB(Transcend 8GB). I, after trying a lot, formatted the USB and have been trying to get the device to boot using a combination of mind altering rootfs, debian(using Ubuntu PC to mount the USB).
It shows the green light flickering when I connect the power cable and then there is a everlasting yellow flicker. Interestingly enough when I extracted and added debianwheezy.tgz, boot.tar.gz(I got from somewhere in this forum, overwriting the debianwheezy.tgz folders) and modules.tar.gz(I got from somewhere in this forum, overwriting the debianwheezy.tgz folders) the green light would flicker much longer when I put in the power cable, however the light itself would go off after that.

I currently am downloading "Debian" for my PC to try to use this tutorial http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,5986,page=1 to make a image for the USB.

I am not that technical, willing to do the required R&D if pointed in the right direction.

Pl. Help!

Regards,
Jake.

Ps:- Attached a screenshot of the folders and files in the USB after extracting (I have a Ubuntu laptop and a laptop running Win 7 with putty)
boot.tar.gz
modules.tar.gz
debianwheezy.tgz
Booting via USB with these files is the only time the GoFlex NET light goes off after the green light keeps blinking.
I guess some files have to be edited, using terminal? and which ones.
