When I install OMV to a flashdrive and do my first boot up after install, I consistently get the following error, please help! I am a newbie and have really struggled with this and am about ready to throw in the towel. Many hours wasted

Here's the background to this error.
I am trying to install OMV and run it on a former Windows 10 desktop. I am not sure of the specs on the machine, but I think it is a 2.7 GHz quadcore with 2 GB ram.
I flashed OMV 4.1.22 iso to a formatted 2 GB USB flashdrive, then I installed OMV to an 8 GB usb flashdrive. I installed OMV successfully to the 8 GB flashdrive, and then took out the install usb and rebooted. The above error occurred. I have tried booting up again without the HDD's connected, and I get the same error.
I formatted all the flash drives, and I re-flashed OMV 4.1.22 iso to the flash drive, re-installed OMV, and I got the same error.
I then formatted all the flash drives again, this time using SD Card Formatter 5.0.1 per the install guide, and tested with h2testw.exe with no errors. I then flashed on OMV 5.0.5 iso to the install usb flash drive, successfully installed OMV onto the 8 GB flash drive, took out the install flash drive, and re-booted. I got the same above error.
I am dumbfounded. Can someone please help!!
I had successfully installed OMV 4.1.22 in this manner three weeks ago. However, during that install, I only had one 1.3 TB drive HDD. I got it all up and running, and I was able to create a network with the single drive. However, I wanted RAID 1, so I bought a second 2 TB HDD and tried to set up RAID1 on the system. I formatted the 1.3 TB HDD and was able to set up RAID1 successfully. I couldn't create a file system on the RAID1 for the life of me, however, possibly because I had the old file system from the single drive. I tried lots of things to no avail. So, I formatted both the 1.3 TB and the 2 TB HDD's as well as the install and OS flashdrives, with the idea of doing a clean re-install of the system and RAID. However, I get the error described above and can't move forward. SO FRUSTRATED!!! PLEASE HELP!! I've spent like 80 hours on this and just want it to work
