July 27, 201510 yr I just tried to upgrade from 5.0.3 to 6.0.1 I backed up my old flash, then formatted. i extracted 6.0.1 to the new flash 'UNRAID', I ran 'make_bootable' and copied over my config files and Share folder without the old GO file. I ejected the flash and put it into my server, at power up it shows the Flash as a USB Storage Device, but also give me a 'DISK BOOT FAILURE' and asks for a system disk. I check my BIOS and it is unchanged, all options set to boot from USB. I'm not sure what I missed.

I ejected the flash If you did this from Windows 7 or 8/8.1, did you run this as administrator (right-click, run as administrator)? One more thing too, make sure boot is set for non UEFI for the USB drive if you have the option.
July 28, 201510 yr Author ran the 'make_Bootable' as Admin. I do not have that option. Nothing changed in the bios and I did go back and check. Something else must be missing. I'm running a JD 2GB Firefly since 2008 without any issues. Maybe something else is missing. Thanks
July 29, 201510 yr Author Thanks guys...It was indeed a BIOS issue...Its an ABit board and the bios had 2 places for boot priority. So though I gave my USB boot priority, I then had to go to the device priority page and move the FireFly to 1st.
