April 28, 20251 yr The Flash Drive in my Lincstation N2 has stopped working and and I an tring to upload Unraid version 7.0.1 onto this drive. when I select Storage on Unraid USB Creater I get a message that in forms me my drive has been BLACKLISTED and to chose another drive. Why has my drive been Blacklisted and how do I remove it.
April 28, 20251 yr Community Expert Because it probably has a duplicate GUID. This is a known problem with SanDisk USBs if I recall correctly. Edited April 28, 20251 yr by MowMdown
April 29, 20251 yr Community Expert Also try the manual install method, the USB tools sometimes shows false positives with some flash drives: https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/getting-started/manual-install-method/
April 29, 20251 yr Community Expert The circle group of numbers should be the serial number of USB device. As you can see, your device does not have a serial number. It is most likely a counterfeit device as the reminder of the GUID has the proper format. Edited April 29, 20251 yr by Frank1940
April 30, 20251 yr Author Today I received a Sandisc Flash Drive and several drives from Amazon that say they are "USB Flash Drive 32 GB USB 2.0 Memory Stick Mini USB Drive". I bought the additional drives As I had read the report regarding "Multiple recent support issues with SanDisk brand USBs, we don't recommend buying SanDisk USBs for Unraid at this point", I decided to use one of the other drives as the Sandisc drive may be a counterfit device. I checked that the drive was formated as FAT32, I then tried using Unraid Creatorto upload Unraid OS 7.0.1 onto the drive. I got the same response that the drive was Blacklisted. I checked the GUID only to find that it had the same number of 2109-0817-0000-followed by twelve zeros. the same as the Sandisc drive originally in the N2. I tried the second no name drive and came up with the same blacklisted results as the initial Drive supplied in the N2. So I cleared a Lexar drive I used previously for uploading the OS on my car satnav and reformatted and tried again with the same results. I know removed every thing about crater and unraid from my Macbook, empted the Waste Bin and restated the Mac. Carried out a search on my Mac to check I had deleted all Unraid and creator files from the hard and re-dowloaded Creator and followed the guide to creating a bootable flash drive and I got the same warning notice that the disc was Blacklisted wuith the same number as the oringinal file (2109-0817-0000-followed by twelve zeros). I have also tries installing manually several time with the two unbranded flash drives. For some reason Unknown to me, my MacBook Pro or the Unraid creator software is retaining the the blacklisted GUID. Being a unraid novice I am at a loss as to what is going on, as there seems to be a lot of reported issues with the Unraid Creator regarding blacklisting on Mac and Windows machines.

Try the manual install method. It is a bit more work and the only tricky part is doing the 'run as administrator' part if you are using a Windows machine. https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/getting-started/manual-install-method/
