    Thanks for the info, at least I know I wasn't going wrong there. I've added one of those Cruzers to my Amazon list so I'll pick one up next week, I didn't realize you could get them so small for a large capacity. I think it's pointless going above 16GB; in fact I would have chosen the 8GB except that it's more expensive than the 16GB right now. Do you know if you can format and use the part of the drive that's not utilized for the XPEnology boot drive (once the drive has been imaged of course) which will be almost the full capacity of the drive.

    I got the information from Device Manager in Windows following the tutorial from Jun. The VID/PID was of the device as it was the same with or without an SD card in the reader. Having said that, USBFlashInfo doesn't even detect it as a flash drive which is why I said it looks like it can't be done on an SD card. I would much rather I could as it "looks nicer" using an almost hidden SD card in an internal card reader than having a flash drive sticking out and taking up one of the few spare USB ports I have.

    OK, I may have been a dooshbag here. I was trying to get this to work on an SD card but I think it may have to be on an actual physical flash drive. Yup, switch to a flash drive and worked 1st time. Grrr.

    Would you recommend going straight to 6.1.x or 6.0.x and upgrading? I am starting on a virgin machine so there will be no chance of data loss. I'm also working with 4 drives to make a RAID if that matters.

    I think 1.02b is the one I'm using but I'll redownload and ensure that is the case (I'm going to remove all my loaders and pat files I've downloaded to date so as to start fresh) Thanks. Now I do. Yup that's the one I've got. The 32bit version won't even install on 64bit. Perhaps I should get hold of 1.5 version (if there's an archive for it on the site).

    Not sure how to quote line by line.... I've tried all different versions of the pat files and all are saying corrupt but it may be the fact I'm using the wrong one. I'm using version 2 of OSFMount which may explain my issue there. The RS file may be another reason why it's not working. Perhaps I should read more carefully.

    Hi all. I've done a lot of searching to find which PAT file we are supposed to be using. Unfortunately, PAT is one of those terms that's too short for a forum search and the only one I've found mentioned in this thread is 8451 (which I'm about to try from this link https://usdl.synology.com/download/DSM/release/6.0.2/8451/DSM_RS3617xs_8451.pat). I keep getting the error stating the file is probably corrupt and I am 500% sure I've set the VID and PID correctly as it took me a while to be able to do it given I had to use a 2nd PC as OFSMount no longer works on Window 10 x64. If this is the correct PAT file, great, if not, could someone please tell me which one it is I need as I suspect the latest DSM (downloaded from Synology's site) is not compatible with loader 1.02b.
