July 15, 20241 yr Ihave a sandisk USB drive that was 16gb and I think it went kaput. Can't boot unraid. I tried to use a backup of the USB but the only backup I have is like 6 years old. When I boot my server it first tries to run the ssd (Cache drive) but I stop that and go to my backup usb and it still says no operating system. I don't have a complex set up only thing really important is Plex and a foundry server. I just want to be able to access my drives. Is there any way to fix this. Worried as there is a but of data I don't want to lose. I'm assuming it's still there it's just my startup that is borked and I can get the data. I am a novice here but Unraid has always been pretty good so I hope someone can assist. I basically can't get unraid to start.

July 15, 20241 yr Author Still not working. Is it posible that with an update the Sandisk UBS I have might have stopped working. I know they have GUID issues or something...

I found out which disk was parity but I don't know how to add a cache drive before first start of array. Instructions at the link below saylook for "disk" on top and then select it for cache but I don't see "disk" this si the last place I am stuck at before running the array again and getting everything back. ANy help greatly appreciated.

I need to figure out how to replace the cache but I dont see how to set up ache anywhere/ Is there a way to jsut reenable my old cache??? Much appreciated if you have any info
July 17, 20241 yr Author Ok I set a pool for cache drives. THen I set to go Cache first then Array for App Data, Domains, and System. I will run mover and then do a partiy check. If any one thinks I messed up anywhere please let me know. I plan on running parity check soon. Unraid is great. Always brings me back from brink it seems.
