[coblck]

Hi please see attached screen shot, tried to upgrade to 6.9 beta on saturaday and it downloaded fine and ask me to reboot, after i did reboot system wont boot, goes past bios splash screen then just loops like that. I have selected usb stick in bios but still the same. Do  they files on the usb stick look ok ??

Have you tried putting the USB stick into a Windows/Mas PC to check it?   The presence of .REC files indicate there has definitely been corruption at some point

Can I remove the files.

Yes - they serve no useful purpose.

So will I create a new usb installation stick and install and request a new key? I have my discs assignment saved. Also what will I lose if I do so?

I would suggest backing up the current USB drive, and then overwriting it with a fresh copy of the 6.9.0-rc2 release to see if that boots.   If one of the .REC files was caused as result of a file not getting written correctly during the upgrade process that might make the current USB drive boot again.   You can then copy the ‘config’ folder from your backup onto the USB drive to restore your licence file and current configuration settings.
