Bags Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Long story short, I think either the server didn't shut down before I pulled out the flash drive or improper shut sown from the second to last version of 6. Originally everything worked fine. I changed networks after giving the unraid box a static ip address. So I tried to change the config file and thats when things went wrong. I backed up the thumb drive before but even thought I put the network config file back I still can't boot. I reformatted the drive and put the newest basic ver of 6 on the thumb drive (scan disk cruiser) I checked bios and it still says boot from removable drive. Can someone please help a brother out.

interwebtech Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I still can't boot What exactly does this mean? Assuming you have a screen connected to the server, do you get the BIOS loading screen? Does it load the UnRaid screen to choose boot option? Does unRaid start its boot process? Quote Link to comment
Bags Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 It goes into bios to the Ausus motherboard then a blinking cursor in the upper left of the screen. Thats it nothing else. Quote Link to comment
interwebtech Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 check BIOS settings for boot devices & boot order. I have seen mbs switch to a default when changes are detected in hardware (like a new usb key). Quote Link to comment
Bags Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 Checked bios, everything looks ok. Goes past Bios then the cursor just sits in the upper left of the screen and blinks. I formatted on a mac and i went through and clocked on make boot mac. looked ok. Im stumped. Quote Link to comment
