Nervous Mike

Thanks a lot mate really! I totally f***** up, trying stupid things….. first of all I tried to use the .gz as image and wasted like an hour of doin even more stupid things as trying to boot from a usb with a gz image on it…. Until I found on google that .gz is a compressed file which needs to be extracted to get the image… heavy facepalm there….. On the first install I skipped the sata config…. Which led to hard disk 2,3,4,5,6,7 error sata disabled… After taking a cigarette/coffee break it actually took about 5 minutes + 10 minutes DSM installing itself, from having a empty usb to a migrated Xpenology fully runnin…. i feel really stupid at the moment, after doin every step everything totally makes sense… it was so easy to be honest…. i think this loads of text and explaining just scared the s*** out of me… got Jdownloader and plex also running within seconds…. Anyway big thanks to both of you!

You're absolutely right, yes I use 918+(didn't know this was relevant), again you are right it is the Z370 Gaming Pro Carbon non AC and again yes I use a PCI-E/SATA Controller. The SSD is just a 2,5'' otherwise I would have written m2 SSD, but I guess this really looks a bit lazy/thin. Thank you and to be Honest, all I need is PLEX or EMBY and MyJdownloader, jup checked that at least. I have read the Tutorial 2 Times now and was, I guess, just confused, with my actual Build I just downloaded the Loader put it on a USB, booted up installed DSM and Tada... Sure, in the Last 2 Years I did some Stuff with Putty etc. The tutorial I did the DSM 6 installation wasn't from here, so maybe it was just the needed stuff and nothing about troubleshooting etc... I have to admit since my actual installation is bugging around and DSM 7 came out I started to read and read(when I found time), maybe read much crap or unneeded stuff, and confused myself I guess. Usually I'm the trial and error guy and get the hang out of it, and I just didn't want to end up with an F***** up NAS where the HDDs are all empty after my try...... You mean the TCRP Backup as described in the tut, or a backup of my old..., if so what exactly? Thanks and Regards

Misunderstanding here, i can use my SSD which is installed as cache/download disk i can also empty another HDD which is installed, i just don't have a ''new'' one lying around. I can easily look that up on my Router, i think i have red in the tutorial that Tinycore's Host name is ''BOX''. I'll just give it a shot and yeah i tried Jun's DSM 6 Loader, maybe i just putting too much into it...... Thanks for your help Peter and i will give feedback how it turned out! Regards

Sorry for the late response, foremost thank you. I guess i'll just use this tutorial: Install/Migrate to DSM 7.x with TinyCore RedPill (TCRP) Loader That was my main Problem, what i've got wrong. I thought you set the whole thing in VM up and then use it as bare metal..... Anyway, thanks for correcting me there... To make it real fail-safe for me, can i do it like this? Remove all HDD's besides of 1 with crap on it, for example my SSD what is only used as cache and for Downloads!? I don't have any ''new disks'' lying around or something... Do I need a Screen on my XPE machine for the Setup? I have it running on the attic, doin everything over web/putty......

Hi there, I’m running DSM 6.2.3-25426 update 3 on a i3-8100, MSI Carbon, 16GB of Ram with 8 drives(1SSD) can I easily move up to DSM 7? all Tutoriales or how to’s I’ve seen include starting on a virtual machine or using Linux commands, not that I’m lazy or anything I’m just not sure if it is possible and how/where to start…. regards
