I am trying to reinstall 3.17 via USB on my X5000 but can not get the machine to find the stick.

I made the stick with morphos-3.17-hybrid.hdimg on a Mac via belanaEtcher that normally writes everything fine. Did have to change the name to .img instead of .hdimg thou before belanaEtcher would find and write it.

The stick is placed in the first black USB port on the back.

Any recommandations to what the best way to make a bootable MorphOS USB stick for X5000 is? Programs etc. And what port to put it in?

Thank you in advance.

Some version of the X5000 firmware don't always detect USB mass storage devices on the first try. Try going to the command line and enter the following two commands:

Code:
```
usb reset
bootmorphos
```

Thank you

Resetting USB did the trick.
