<div class="bbWrapper">hi, I have downloaded the latest FreeNas version image and used 7zip to uncompress the image, then I used win32 disk imager to write it to a usb stick, but I couldn't get it to boot after changing the boot sequence in the BIOS, I tried 2 motherboards and 3 different usb sticks ( 4GB Sandisk, 8GB PNY, 8GB Integral). I gave up and burnt it to a disc, it boots fine and installs to the usb, but after removing the disc and rebooting like it says to, I get an error 'cant work out which disk to boot from' (and some other code).<br /> any ideas, thanks</div>
