August 17, 201114 yr My server shutdown suddenly for some reason, I have not started it back up because I want to pull the syslog first. but reading the procedure it appears I need to start the server back up to access the syslog. Won't that erase the syslog? I was under the impression that switching on the server will start a parity check automatically which sounds like it will make a new syslog. I have pulled the flash drive out and put it in my other PC is there a way to get the syslog that way or can someone hand hold me through the process, noob here. Thanks.

If not shut down cleanly it will start a parity check. That has nothing to do with the syslog being lost when you reboot or lose power.
