December 19, 201015 yr Hi All, I have been planning to build an unRAID server for some time and have finally got around to it. Hardware: ASUS A8N-SLI AMD X2 4400 2GB RAM 256MB SanDisk Cruzer Micro 1x WD20EARS 1x WD10EACS 2x Seagate 500GB 1x WD5000AACS HighPoint RocketRAID 1640 After a bunch of testing and playing about I decided to buy a licence yesterday so that I could get it set up with more than 3 disks. I bought a Plus licence and got my key within 30 mins (Thanks Tim!). After dropping the key file on my USB drive, I booted the server and configured it, successfully turning on user level security and adding a couple of user shares. Happy that it was working, I then shutdown, and added three more drives (the 500GB ones, all on the RocketRAID 1640) and booted again. The server booted fine, however once connected to the web interface, I noticed that it was running as the 'basic' version. On checking the devices tab, I discovered that the USB GUID is all messed up: Flash Vendor: SanDisk Flash Product: Cruzer_Micro Flash GUID: 05E3-0704- - -?a? Registered GUID: 0781-7113-0000-000002120488 Wrong I have tried the following since discovering the problem: - Returned the server hardware to exactly as it was when I successfully configured the User Shares - Re-formatted, and prepared the USB drive with both unRAID 4.5.6 and 4.6 - Tried all available USB ports Have I fried my USB drive? Or have I made some other silly mistake? Thanks in advance for any help.

If it is not working properly, there's no way the GUID will be correct. I'd try booting a different PC with the flash drive. (You don't have to assign any disks) You can look at the devices page to see the GUID. Worst case send Tom @ lime-tech an e-mail. he is very helpful.
December 20, 201015 yr Author Thanks for the reply Joe. The USB drive boots properly on other hardware, and has a valid GUID, so I suspect you are correct in pointing the finger at RAM. Also, while I was trying to do a memory test, the PSU failed. That'll teach me to use second hand stuff. At least it's a good excuse to get some shiny new hardware. Thanks again for your help.
