It is a requirement for UnRAID that any USB drive have a unique GUID, but some vendors do not give their drives unique GUIDs. This probably means you need a new one. One I have seen many use successfully is the Sandisk Cruzer Fit 16GB USB 2 drive. Note that USB2 is preferred over USB3 as it is more reliable and since Unraid runs from RAM there is no performance benefit to using USB3.

I copied the basic.key network and ident cfg files to the new usb. it gave the unraid the correct network and name. Got the new replacement KEY. YES IT IS ALL BACK UP AND RUNNING !!! I still have my data . THanks god. Now I have to install all the apps again So happy
