September 28, 20232 yr Hello everyone, I can't able to boot unraid. I just check the usb drive on another computer, I'm able to read the content and I just backed up the content. I can't yet exclude hardware problems, where I'll investigate tomorrow. It just passes the bios screen and then black screen. What kind of check could I do? Could be a damaged disk? An installed app that breaks somewhat?

September 28, 20232 yr Community Expert Solution Are you getting the Unraid boot menu? If not then rewriting the bz* type files as described here in the online documentation accessible via the Manual link at the bottom of the Unraid GUI. In addition every forum page has a DOCS link at the top and a Documentation link at the bottom might help.

October 25, 20232 yr Author Hello everyone, a few days ago I had bad boot experience, I thought I had solved it as indicated in this post, but now pc entering in bios and doesn't start unraid anymore. I suppose issues with the flash drive (Samsung Fit 128GB) as I can't see anything inside if I mount it in a windows pc. I haven't test it mounting on an linux machine. In one of the last boot that was done without that the system entering always in bios, but failed anyway, there was errors on the pendrive disk in the startup screens. So, for this reason I suppose issues on the flash drive now. BTW, I have a backup, done manually copying files from flash drive to another directory, when it was still readable by Windows PC. How could I solve? I read about the limit of 32GB on pendrive but I haven't another pendrive smaller than the samsung fit. I have another new Samsung bar plus version (64GB).
October 25, 20232 yr Community Expert Windows will not format drives larger than 32GB to FAT32 but you can use a drive larger than 32GB if you use a 3rd party utility such as Rufus to format it to FAT32 (with MBR partitioning).
October 26, 20232 yr Author About flash drive substitution, if I'm not sure that backup that I have is the most recent, what is the right way to proceed? I didn't make disk's assignment changes recently and I know what is the parity drive (because it's the larger that I have, respect all data disks).
October 26, 20232 yr Community Expert If there's only one parity (and it's parity1) and you known which disk it is you can just reassign the remaining disks in any order and check parity is already valid.
