Fans were making noise, I notified manufacturer but didn't hear back but I also didn't follow-up...I haven't used the machine in quite some time but I of course have an important drive that needs to be recovered but it just blinks green. -- Decided to clean all the dust off the fans, reseat the memory, usb key, etc, -- Just clean it up in general since it's never been cleaned proper, same results.

Hooked up a monitor and recorded the boot sequence and the two errors I encounter. Any help with fixing is appreciated.

Hi,

Can confirm, you could contact Atola support and they will send you the link to the factory image.

Wanted to publicly say THANK YOU to both Dmitry and Vitaliy for helping me fix my imager.

After re-imaging the boot drive everything worked flawlessly. Love you guys! You have no idea.

Can we make an image of the Atola boot drive, for possible future hd failures? Or does this void warranties? Is it a mechanical drive or SSD?

We can provide the latest image as a download upon request, along with instructions on how to flash it w/o taking the system apart. We use a regular USB flash stick inside of the system. Since the media works in read-only mode, failures are exceedingly rare; I would not worry about it.

That answers everything perfectly. And satisfies any concerns. Thank you Dimitry! The Atola has truly been worth every penny. We live and die by that machine. Thank you!
