October 5, 20178 yr Helo, I recently made a stupid mistake and formatted a drive in an attempt to recover data from it (I did say it was stupid). Anyway, long story short I burned a live CD with UFS Explorer, bought a new external drive and recovered the contents of the old drive to the new external drive. After copying the recovered data, I rebooted the machine, removed the CD and now unRAID does not boot anymore, it looks like the USB stick is no longer bootable, as the BIOS is not able to boot from it, it's not an issue with the OS. What should I do now? Edited October 17, 20178 yr by joelrfernandes
October 5, 20178 yr Have you rechecked the boot order in the BIOS? Many change it when drives are added or removed
October 5, 20178 yr Author Great, it looks like the drive is no longer bootable: How is that even possible? And, more importantly, how can it be recovered?
October 5, 20178 yr Author I just tried running the `make_bootable_mac` script, and there are a couple of errors there (and still not bootable): $ ./make_bootable_mac INFO: make_bootable_mac v1.2 INFO: The following drive appears to be the unRAID USB Flash drive: /dev/disk3 7.8GB To continue please enter your admin INFO: Unmounting /dev/disk3 Forced unmount of all volumes on disk3 was successful INFO: Writing MBR on /dev/disk3 0+1 records in 0+1 records out 447 bytes transferred in 0.002372 secs (188446 bytes/sec) INFO: Mounting /dev/disk3 Volume(s) mounted successfully syslinux for Mac OS X; created by Geza Kovacs for UNetbootin unetbootin.sf.net shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory "/dev/disk3s1" unmounted successfully. shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory /dev/disk3s1 DOS_FAT_32 /Volumes/UNRAID shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory mountpoint is /Volumes/UNRAID checkpoint1 checkpoint1.5 checkpoint1.55bad checkpoint1.6 /Volumes/UNRAID/ldlinux.sys ldlinuxname checkpoint2 checkpoint3 /Volumes/UNRAID/ldlinux.c32 ldlinuxname checkpoint3.5 shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory "/dev/disk3s1" unmounted successfully. checkpoint4 checkpoint5 checkpoint6 checkpoint7 checkpoint8 shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory /dev/disk3s1 DOS_FAT_32 /Volumes/UNRAID INFO: the unRAID USB Flash drive is now bootable and may be ejected.
