Installation on a New USB Flash Device
======================================

To make a bootable USB Flash device follow these steps:

If using Windows (XP/Vista/Win7)
--------------------------------
1. Plug your USB Flash device into your Windows PC.

2. Open 'My Computer' (XP) or 'Computer' (Vista/Win7) and right-click your Flash device. Click 'Format...',
   set the volume label to UNRAID and then click 'Start'. Important: the volume label must be set exactly
   to UNRAID (all caps).

3. Click on your Flash device (to open it), click on the zip file (to open it) and drag then entire contents of
   the unRAID Server zip file to the Flash.

4. For Windows XP, click on the file 'make_bootable'.  A DOS window will open and run the 'syslinux' utility on the
   Flash.  For Windows Vista or Windows 7, right-click on the file 'make_bootable' and select 'Run as administrator'.
   The 'syslinux' utility will write the Master Boot Record and create a small hidden file named 'ldlinux.sys' on
   the Flash device, making it bootable.

5. Once again, right-click your Flash device in 'My Computer' or 'Computer' and then click 'Eject'.  Your USB Flash
   device is now ready to boot into unRAID Server OS.

If using OS X
-------------
1. Plug your USB Flash device into your Mac.

2. Open Disk Utility, select the device and click the Erase tab.  Select Format: MS-DOS (FAT) format, Name: UNRAID
   and then click Erase. Important: the Name (volume label) must be set exactly to UNRAID (all caps).

3. Click on your UNRAID device (to open it), click on the downloaded unRAID Server OS release zip file (to open it),
   click on the un-archived unRAID Server folder that results (to open it), and drag then entire contents
   of the unRAID Server folder to the Flash.

4. Click on the file 'make_bootable_mac' on the device.  A terminal window will open and prompt for your admin
   password.  If the selected device is correct, enter the password and hit return.  The script will proceed to run
   the 'syslinux' utility which will write the Master Boot Record and create a small file named 'ldlinux.sys' on
   the Flash device, making it bootable.  Note: you may see your device disappear and reappear on your
   desktop a few times as the script is running - this is normal.

5. When the script completes, close the terminal window and Eject the device.  Your USB Flash device is now ready
   to boot into unRAID Server OS.
