@IG-88 Many thanks for your reply, gives me a lot to go on, so instead of loader v1.03b, would you recommend a different one in order to install DSM 6.2.0? If so, which one would be best as it says that is the best one for that version? If I try and use that loader to install 6.2.0, I just get the same message as before about needing the later version?

Hey there I've currently got a gen 7 microserver installed with Freenas but have now just got hold of a gen 8 and thought I would give Synology a try. I've been doing a load of reading up on it but seem to be hitting a number of issues, could someone please confirm the exact files that I need to perform the install pls? I've tried loader 1.03b and the DS3615xs.pat file but getting errors about corrupt files etc. If I try and load v6.2.2.24922, I get the message saying "You have to use an installation file of 6.2.3.25426" but if I use that file I get the message about corrupt files? I also couldn't get the loader to boot with a USB3 stick and had to use an old USB2 one in the end, is this normal and is there a way around this? (I made sure I was plugging it into the USB2 slot too) Also, with Freenas, the OS was written to the USB stick which left all the installed drives for storage, is this the same for Synology? Any pointers and links to guides would be much appreciated, thanks
