January 9, 20179 yr I was installing a new controller card into my server today. I installed it fine, went to boot up, and we lost power (yes, my UPS was warning me, it's my own fault). Now my motherboard refuses to recognize my usb key. It recognized my old one fine. when I copied all the files from my current key to the key that was recognized my motherboard doesn't recognize it, either. Is there a pid file or anything that I just need to delete in order to be able to boot from the drive again?
January 9, 20179 yr If it isn't working with 2 different flash drives then I would suspect a hardware problem. Have you tried a different port?
January 9, 20179 yr Author The funny thing is the motherboard recognized the 2nd flash drive until I copied the files from the drive that didn't work to the drive that worked...
January 9, 20179 yr Copy to your PC anything you can from the flash drive that you have your license for, then format it and prepare it as for a new install. If you can boot we can figure out what to copy back to get you going again.
January 9, 20179 yr Author I'm not 100% sure what happened. I formatted my USB key and reinstalled unraid. Then I found out my front USB ports stopped working so I connected my internal header to the motherboard and everything worked. Thanks for your help!
January 9, 20179 yr Years ago I had a computer where the USB ports would get stuck in some way and the only way I could get them to reset was to unplug the computer and wait for the power supply capacitors to discharge
