  1. My first Unraid server has been working great for several weeks. Last night I was watching a movie streaming off the server and it started skipping every 10 seconds or so. At first I thought it was the computer I was using to read the files, but I've now tried to watch movie files from other computers and it still skips. Then tonight I was watching another movie to see if it was still skipping, it was, and then the unraid server locked up (I could not access it via the web). I restarted the server, it booted OK, but it still skips with movie files. Are there any daignostic tests I can run to see what's going on? I'm using an ASUS P5LD2 mobo, I've heard the ethernet port on these boards have a history of failing? I'm wondering if that could be it... but not sure how to check. I'm not a computer expert, I've seen some guys on here list transfer rates, but I don't know how to do this. Any tips? thanks
  2. Found the problem - this is a note for all people using Sandisk Cruzer Micros!!! They come installed with Sandisk software on it that CANNOT be removed with a standard Windows FAT format or the HP flash format tool. You have to go into the "settings" in the resident Sandisk software and tell it to uninstall the software. It will reformat the drive. After this was done I reinstalled UNRAID basic and it boots fine.
  3. Just built my first UNRAID server with an ASUS P5LD2 Motherboard. Am using a Sandisk Cruzer micro flash drive with UNRAID basic. In the motherboard BIOS, the Sandisk cruzer is recognized and I have set it to boot from the flash drive. This doesn't work, I get the following message: "Reboot and select proper boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key". I have tried all the BIOS suggestions on the UNRAID basic page, I have also tried the HP flash format tool... no luck. Any suggestions? Thanks
