I downloaded the 9.10.2-U1 ISO, wrote it to a USB key, put the USB key into my NAS, booted from it (after setting the boot order to boot from USB), selected "Install / Upgrade," but the USB drive doesn't show up in the menu for "choose destination media." The only thing that shows up are my hard drives. What now?

Do you have 2 flash drives in your machine? The one with the install media and the second one as a target for the install?

By the way, please post your detailed system spec's, per the forum rules at the top of the page.

You cannot install from and to the same drive. You need two USB drives, one to install from, one to install to.
