You’ll need to rename the OS6 firmware .img file to RAIDiator-x86-something to get it to work with USB Boot Recovery for RAIDiator-x86 systems.

You can update the USB Boot file with the latest firmware by substituting the new image file for the old one.
Just download the current version of the that you want to use and swap out the firmware file.
Then just follow the directions on the USB Boot and it should work for you.

- CheppettoOct 03, 2017AspirantThanks a lot, will try with renaming.
I am aware that it might be a disk fault too, spin up sounded ok, and LEDs showed no error, but let's see and again thanks a lot. I thought that the package is signed with other keys that's why i asked.
So i will just rename the .bin to raidar*** and check if it works.
