Yes, but it requires that you load the HD with the use if a std pc. Then modified the config file for the nic card in the 4400. Then install and see if it works. On the FreeNAS it is easy to modify, just need to know the hardware. I have A Dell 715N here to work on but never got around to it due to time. The Dess does not have the watchdog. You you will need to disable it in 4400.

Yes, you can load FreeNAS on it, but it is a pain in the arse and you have to disable the watchdog bios.

Now, I am not trying to offend here, but I have to ask (and yes I am aware of your current problem withe those untis). Why the hell would you want to do that? The Guardian OS is by far the best NAS OS available out of a multitude of NAS Operating Systems out there. You are way way way better off in my opinion of getting those units up and working. Hell, even if you have to send one or both of the units to someone like myself or David to get them running, it is worth it.
