That did the trick! Didn't occur to me that my new USB may also be bad, but third time's the charm! It worked immediately with my first method of simply copying over my backup and running make_bootable.bat. Whew! Thanks for the help!

I just wiped the flash drive and tried again. This is what I get with those options:

I've had an unRAID 6.6.1 server running without intervention for years, but the USB drive just died on me. After confirming the old drive was physically dead, I set about trying to restore to a new but identical USB drive. My backup is just a folder I copied over from the /FLASH share using Windows. But I can't figure out how to get that properly restored. The machine either doesn't recognize the boot device or I get a Linux boot error. I've tried the following: format USB FAT32, label UNRAID, copied the contents of /FLASH over and ran make_bootable.bat which reported success zipped the folder and used Unraid.USB.Creator.Win32-2.1 to "restore" it used Unraid.USB.Creator.Win32-2.1 to install the current stable build and just copied my /config folder over afterward manually installed the current stable build and copied my /config folder wondering if the current build might be somehow too new/incompatible (my server probably predates UEFI), tried to track down an actual 6.6.1 installer but had no luck with that Nothing has changed on the server which was working fine until the USB flash drive died. All the other drives look fine. How do I get my old 6.6.1 configuration restored and activated? I searched here, reddit, and Google, and haven't had any luck so thought I'd send out an SOS. Thanks for any help.

Thanks for clarifying the script selection, and I really appreciate you offering us this functionality. How about my main question: is Preclear now integrated with 6.2? If not, why did it disappear from Plugins (but still appears functional under Tools) when upgrading from unRAID 6.1 to 6.2 and what action do I need to take?

After upgrading to unRAID 6.2 from 6.1 (did not install any betas), Preclear disappeared from the Plugins page, but does appear under Tools. It also offers a choice of script (gfjardim or Joe L.) Is this the expected behavior and it's just built in now? What's the difference in scripts? I've been reading through various beta threads but couldn't find a definitive answer, so I figured this was the place to ask. I just need to know if I need to do anything else before running my next preclear. Thanks, and sorry for what's most likely a question that's already been answered... somewhere!
