USB drive failed - Cant make new USB Drive to boot


Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I woke up to find my unraid server telling USB Drive failure so like an idiot I rebooted it. It would not boot so I tried to create a new USB drive but the usb creator just fails giving me a fail to mount error right at the end, after it starts creating the boot drive (both new install and using a backup which i thankfully had)

 

I tried the manual method of creating the usb drive and it seems like it works fine when I make it bootable but once I insert it into server and reboot it fails to find the OS (even though the BIOS sees it)

 

Any suggestions? I've tried 3 different drives (32gb Sandisk Cruzer 2.0, 32gb Sandisk Cruzer 3.0, old 8gb 2.0 drive which used to work) 

 

I use this for work and I need access to my Windows VM today, please help!

 

This is the error i get when i try to use the tool with 2 different drives one fails and the other is stuck on "Syncing file system"
