I will say you gave me the push I needed to get it going. It was very much touch and go because I did not know what the loaders may have been doing with my data. But in the end it worked out and alot of my problems were hardware 'per-se. Like instead of installing from USB port on the front of the computer I ran it from the back and it cleared the last hurdle. Thank you!

    • @ThinkSmartHome

      Yes, it should work that way. You’ll have build a brand new loader on a different usb stick and use that one to boot, keep the existing one just incase this doesn’t work. When DSM boots it should detect existing DS918 on your disks and you should be able to recover it from there. Highly recommended to take backup of your data tho.
