I made my Kingston Traveller 1GB USB flash drive back in December 2007 or so. Unraid 4.0, I believe. It's still working to this day, and my 24 drives in a Norco 4220 were doing well. However, one of my RAID cards died recently, and I decided it's time to upgrade my hardware, including my old flash drive.

I've changed the mobo, CPU and RAM, as well as the RAID card. I am currently running a version of unraid 6, and my flash drive is too full to upgrade further I think. There are a number of issues I want to get past in my new build:

1. In order to boot from the old USB drive, I need to have CSM turned on. This option is only available in the BIOS if there is a GPU in one of the faster PCIe slots. I wish to use the integrated graphics on my APU instead. Recent builds I have made for others prove that this is possible - it just isn't on my system. Could I "re-create" my flash drive to do this? Bear in mind it's only 1 GB and 18 years old! Do I simply copy all the files, use a utility to make it bootable and then copy all the files back?

2. If I want to change the flash drive, how do I go about it? In the past, one would send Tom the GUID, but now all the licences are online. However, mine are not there and I don't know whether my current unraid meets the minimum version number to link my flash drive. There's definitely not enough space on the drive to do the backup feature, which requires 1 GB of free space.

3. I also want to change my registered email address.
   

Many thanks in advance for any help for this guy, who suddenly feels old!

Look for an EFI- folder and rename it to EFI.

You need to contact support for those.

Have you actually logged into Unraid Connect from the current server? I would think that would get your key registered

Yes. My system is from the before times, and is not there. I need to register it manually. I need to find the GUID of my flash drive to do so.

Thank you so much. Will try all this.

Happy ending.

Renaming the EFI- folder allowed the desired boot configuration.

I managed to register my GUID and back up my files to a new flash drive. I have not booted from that drive yet, but the system is running ok on the old drive. Will move to the new one next month.

Thanks all for your assistance.
