Help!!! - Loading /Boot/defaults/loader.conf

[Jude]

Hi all (My apologies if this is in the wrong section)

About a month ago I bought a HP micro Server and following the step by step video tutorials and loaded Freenas. I then proceeded to load all my media onto the freenas machine, All was working perfectly.

Until last night, I came home and couldn't see the server, not even throught my browser. I plugged my screen into the server and rebooted the machine several times (freenas was loaded onto a USB stick) it starts to run but then gets stuck at this point

FreeBSD/x86 Bootstrap Loader, Revision 1.1

Loading /Boot/defaults/loader.conf

The biggest issue, is I have no idea what i'm doing as I am not an I.T. person and although I have found similar issues on google, the answers are all way above my head.

I need help, but dumbed down so I can understand. I really don't want to reload and lose all my already saved media

mmmm maybe your USB stick is broken, try to install freenas again into another USB stick and boot.

Thanks so much Interpeix, loaded onto new memory stick last night and worked like a charm

problem is it only imported 1 of the 3 volumes successfully, the other 2 are showing errors saying that it cannot read successfully. I have data on the one that I really don't want to lose.

any idea what I can do?
