Hi Gang -
So I have trouble installing the freeNAS installer on a USB drive (documentation 2.2.3). I followed the instructions and:
1. Downloaded the freeNAS 9.10 ISO file
2. Installed the Win32 Disk Manager
3. Used the “browse” button to browse to the location of the .iso file (here I had to switch the file extension search option from Disk Images (*.img*.IMG) to *.* so I can see my .iso file.
4. Selected my brand new 16Gb USB drive from the device and hit Write
Win32 Disk Manager gave me a successful write, but when I tried to open the USB drive to see what's written in there, windows tells me that I need to format the drive before I can use it.
All the tutorials online seem to be referring to a .img freeNAS download. My only option was to download an .iso file.
confused. Please help.
thanks!
