I recently dicided to switch to SSD HD with the GeeekPi SATA Storage for Raspberry Pi 4, 2.5 inch SATA HDD/SSD Expansion Board X825 V2.0 USB3.0 Shield for Raspberry Pi 4 Model B, I lost both my VenusOS SD card and my Homeassistant SD card in a matter of days of each other. I restored the VenusOS and got all the way to the opening screen of the Homeassistant. I could not get to the home screen after every combination of http://homeassistant.local:8123 and the IP address and well everthing that worked the last time I could not get it to work.
The question is can I just start over on the SSD drive or maybe is there someting blocking me from the last set up. I think it is still intact? it looks like DNS or the missing port are not found, errors but I dont know. I cleared all cash the history and enything that I though might hold a bit of info that would casue this to happen. like remove the app from my phone and tablet. Both Samsung. both worked well as the desktop interface worked great untill the great SD card failure. Does it matter if it is done in FAT32 or NTFS or does it have to be the same? I will include a pic of the error page maybe someone will see something. I feel like I remmember having to do something in code the last time i had a similar issue in the homeassistant prompt and I can see it does not see the internet or the wlan? maybe. Is there like and IP config comand maybe. I have read many of the “help with getting HA to start after putting it on the SD card”. Many of the issues are the card but it is usually some detail that they miss But since I did get it up and running once is that an issue. Can it be cleared from the other side like by someone at HA maybe a reset? But I must be missing something that I am not including because it was installed once and it even had some kind of local. net name that I also does not load. I believe it was Solarking.local:8123 I believe. Not sure I understand the difference, Or why putting the IP adress should work, But I cant get past the screen with the system ready prompt.
Any help greatly apreciated I usually get the idea that gets me to were I need to be from places like this forum. Thank you

works and as I go to reload onto the new SSD that I will have the same issues. ? any ideas thanks.
RaspberryPi4b 4gig. the geekpi add on board a 256 sata SSD HD. is what I am working with.

Update after some time with every variation of new SD card and network cash clearing I found that it was a problem with my network. More importantly with resetting my Roter. It would not show dual 5g and 2.5g network and when I would go to the router page it would not take my password. So hard reset. still did not work. I had done it twice before. Even going into the terminal and ip config ip something....
To be clear I may have(most likly) put a setting on that made a problem for myself. But I also had behavior that my computer had been hacked. It would just start moving the mouse on its own. Once it just went through multiple web sites buy itself. Now I did have a strange issue with too many USB keybourd mouse bluetooth on my compter and for some reason from the RPi. So I had to unplug all the keybourds and remove old USB connected mouse keybourds connected.Sound like da but well it was easy to miss. I went through 5 key boards in like one month. Dont ask.
When I went throught the whole network reset it acted strange it would not work from the desktop connection. I had to use my phone and tablet via the phone. When the first screen comes up after you type in the default IP it would be on my desktop but only could control it from my tablet. So I can see it on my screen but cant control the image at all it is like a ghost on my desktop. But once I went to the tablet which was connected to the phone for network connection, I was able to set up the whole thing. It took several times with the password getting messed up many times did I mention I hate passwords (Dyslexia sucks). In the middle of all of this I installed Bitwarden a password protection program and it may have caused some issues. After I finale got the network reset and all the passwords figured out. I was able to access HA. It did however default to a different IP address. So I know that was an issue maybe related to the Daisy chained Ethernet.
To be clear this is a daisy chain Eiternet cable that comes from the main router in the house which is about 60ft of cable away from the first Router. Then it splits to a new Router to go to the RPi4b. Funny that is only a few feet away but it preforms like it is another forty feet away in a Faraday cage. Many issues make it hard to pin point without more data. And learning. So all that in its self could cause problems for me that I did not forsee. Thought I would share one more way you can fail at loading Homeassistant and its not Homeassistants fault.
SolarKing (for the day)
I will now try to transfer to SSD and integrate with Venuseos. I am contimplating using an old laptop that I was gifted to me, and clear the drive and load Ubunto or the Raspberry Pi form of lenux software to then make that the HA head and then use the RPi with SSD to just do the VenusOS stuff that way I dont loose the SD card again. Since one of the desires is to not have to switch to the SD card for the VenusOS to update and look at or load new stuff. I can also just use the Victron app within the HA. Which may also be the best solution. We sill see.
One other thing I could not keep track of the link for HA on my Desktop. not an app for the Desktopso. I need a big screen. I found you can make it a shortcut on your desktop by dragging the address to the desktop and then give it a different icon and you have a HA shortcut on the desktop. For me that was a big deal. Simple things for simple minds.
Thanks
