You cannot install the Guardian OS directly to a blank 4500, the GOS is not designed to be installed that way. The installer is part of the installed GOS. In other words, you have to have at least a partially functioning GOS already installed to install/upgrade the new GOS.

You need a drive image, send it to the OEM, or find one of the few technicians out there who can do it (correctly) for you (like me).

Cost? Can vary a lot, from "not cheap" to very expensive. Me, it is a case by case kind of thing. Make me an offer via email, and don't insult me. phoenix32x@hotmail.com
