renee Posted December 5, 2022 Share #1 Posted December 5, 2022 I am stuck. I built my first xpenology server from a udemy course about 5 years ago. It was DSM 5.2. It ran great until... The flash drive that the operating system was on accidentally was bent and no longer works. So now I have these hard drives with all my data and I have no way to access them. The udemy course taught me how to set up the files needed for DSM 5.2. Would anyone happen to have those files so I can set up a new USB flash drive? I really an inexperienced. And need help.

renee Posted December 7, 2022 Author Share #3 Posted December 7, 2022 Would you or anyone else know if I make another USB drive of DSM 5.2. And I plug it into my server, will it recognize my drives that already have the data and not require I reformate them again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renee Posted December 7, 2022 Author Share #4 Posted December 7, 2022 Hi nemesis122, yes thank you I do need the files for DSM 5.2. Would you happen to know about a tutorial that will teach me how to make a flashdrive bootable and how to put the DSM on the flashdrive?

rojoone2 Posted December 7, 2022 Share #6 Posted December 7, 2022 @nemesis122, Can he/she go from 5.2 to 7.1 directly or would they have to go 5.2 to 6.2 then 7.1? If its possible.. great! that's what I would do. @renee, I have had the same issue as you are having with a bent USB drive on my builds. What I began doing is getting an internal USB dongle and securing it inside the case. https://www.startech.com/en-pe/cables/usbmbadapt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renee Posted January 27 Author Share #8 Posted January 27 Hi nemesis122, I have to admit, I haven't touched the server since this last post. Divorce and my busy work schedule got in the way. I am wondering if you would still be will to a teamviewer session to get my server back to functionality. Just a reminder but full post above, "The flash drive that the operating system was on accidentally was bent and no longer works. So now I have these hard drives with all my data and I have no way to access them." I really would appreciate any help you could give and I would definitely send you a gift card to your favorite spot. -me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
