ItsRaining Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 (edited) I have been having an issue with my Unraid receiving this error on my Dashboard. Originally thought it was a bad flash drive but after changing to a new one the error has returned. I have attached my diagnostics for review. Thank you in advanced for any assistance. tower-diagnostics-20210824-1935.zip Edited August 25, 2021 by ItsRaining Quote Link to comment
ItsRaining Posted August 31, 2021 Author Share Posted August 31, 2021 Bueller. Bueller. Bueller. Really need help. Now my entire docker and Unraid. That error persisted with no changes until now everything is broken and Unraid claims it is unreadable. Really could use help. I have not been able to use Unraid without any errors since purchase and its making question why I didn't just use windows. Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 As it says in that red warning, you have a flash problem. Probably nothing wrong with the original flash drive or this one, you have some other problem causing it to disconnect. Put it in your PC and let it checkdisk. While there make a backup. Boot again from a USB2 port. Quote Link to comment
ItsRaining Posted August 31, 2021 Author Share Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) The flash drive is plugged into a USB 2.0 port. Here is the contents of the flash drive. Seems a little lacking: Here is the results of the chkdsk: After plugging it in to a new USB2 slot I do not get past a blank post screen. I do not mind remaking my dockers at all if this problem does not persist. I tried using the Unraid tool to make a new flash drive and place my pro.key in the Config folder. However, I get the same post screen as my previous flash drive. Edited August 31, 2021 by ItsRaining Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Do you have a backup of flash? The config folder from a flash backup has everything about your configuration and you can just prepare a new install and copy the config folder from your flash backup to it. Quote Link to comment
ItsRaining Posted August 31, 2021 Author Share Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) No I failed to grab a backup of the flash. Completely my fault, however last time I was having this same issue I grabbed a flash backup and it had the same missing contents of the config folder. Here is my previous backup that also failed. Every time I have pulled my flash drive and looked in it there was no config folder unless I had just run the Unraid creation tool on it. Edited August 31, 2021 by ItsRaining Quote Link to comment

ItsRaining Posted August 31, 2021 Author Share Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) Yes that Is how I downloaded the backup shown above. If you see picture above I cannot get my Unraid server to post at all now. I tried using the following settings and putting my pro.key file inside the config folder: However I just get the blank post screen you see in my previous post.

ItsRaining Posted August 31, 2021 Author Share Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) Wow you are correct. I am not getting a BIOS screen. Any suggestions, I have never had this before. Faulty motherboard?? This is freaking me out because all the parts are only a month old and I believe just past the return date. Edited August 31, 2021 by ItsRaining Quote Link to comment
ItsRaining Posted August 31, 2021 Author Share Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) Yes all the fans turn on, lights start up, the server was working (except the above errors) before I shut it down to pull the USB stick. Edited August 31, 2021 by ItsRaining Quote Link to comment
ItsRaining Posted August 31, 2021 Author Share Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) Yes I put it together. It wasn't my first time and used PCPartsPicker to check compatibility. Do you want the full specs? It was working just fine I do not understand this sudden change. Edit: After bringing it to a trusted friend he switched out the motherboard and everything worked great. I am currently in the process of replacing the motherboard through the manufacturers warranty. Edited September 2, 2021 by ItsRaining Quote Link to comment
