[SOLVED] New server and: dev/disk/by-label/UNRAID not found!

[GGF_001]

My old old Dell finally gave up the ghost, so I used my HTPC (year or so old) to build a new server, and bought a new USB drive [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LLER2CS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1].

 

I copied the files from the old USB drive to the new and made it a bootable device. Changed the USB drive to be the 1st bootable device in the bios. Now I am receiving these errors.

 

I can't seem to find much info on how to troubleshoot these types of errors. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Hello, one question... Is the Name from the USB-Drive "UNRAID" <- like this 

[GGF_001]

Thanks for the help. Yes, the USB is named UNRAID.

I should have checked this much sooner, but apparently my new USB drive was the problem (SanDisk Ultra Fit™ CZ43 32GB USB 3.0) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LLER2CS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

I found an old POS USB from my wife's work and it booted no problems, but now I have this hanging out the back of my pretty Fractal R4 case

Is that USB Man?

Thanks, had this exact problem with that Sandisk Fit USB stick and was pulling my hair out for days trying to figure out how to install Unraid (6beta12) for the first time.  Different usb stick worked wonders.

 

I should also mention that this is quite insidious as Unraid still boots fine, but the flash drive never mounts, so all your settings are never saved and the web GUI doesn't come up automatically because there is no go script mounted.  Really tough to debug if you've never used Unraid before.

This is exactly what is happening to me, but I've tried 3 different USB sticks and I still get the same behaviour.  I'm starting to think my USB subsystem isn't right on this board.
