May 22, 20242 yr Last night with the storms my UNRAID server crashed. It is an HP Gen7 server connected to a UPS. Power did not blip at all, but as I was watching TV on the PLEX docker through my TV it started the circle of death on the Plex video stream. Fast forward to just now as I remembered the UNRAID server was not running.... I looked at the server and tried to reboot - but it kept having issues finding the boot disk and would then try Network Boot and reset. So - on advice I saw in the forums, I pulled the USB to do a chkdsk on Windows. However - I plugged it into several USB ports on my desktop and then my laptop. It does not even recognize the USB at all. Not even in Disk Management. What is the next steps now?? thx in advance.

May 22, 20242 yr Author OK. I have UNRAID on a new USB. Trying to transfer my license, but all of the documentation shows a "replace key" button which is not an option under Tools > Registration in version 6.12.10 from what I can see. All I see is this:
May 22, 20242 yr Community Expert Have you put the old key file into the config folder on the flash drive?

No. Since my old USB was completely hosed (not accessible at all) - I followed the directions from the link given above, which was: The basic approach is: Create a new Unraid boot drive. Boot the Unraid server off this new drive. At this point no drives will be assigned. Get the new drive licenced. This can be using either a trial licence or by following the procedure for transferring an existing licence to a new boot drive.
May 22, 20242 yr Author What I did instead was to get the URL from Unraid Connect and load that. But, of course that leads to Registration Key / USB Flash GUID mismatch.
May 22, 20242 yr Author I figured that part out. Use the replace that comes up to blacklist the previous USB GUID. So now I should be at the point where I can try to figure out the drive situation. I know which one is the parity, but beyond that I have no damn clue.
May 22, 20242 yr Author ok, since I knew which one was parity - I went ahead and put that in place and added all the drives in. Looks like things are back, but I will have to do a lot of verifying to make sure. I can see that my dockers are all working - so that is good.
