Not booting on Model B Pi

[rhino_ninja]

Hello all,
I have a Raspberry Pi model B that seems to not boot when using RuneAudio.
I have loaded the image with both Windows 7 using Unetbootin. (which ironically afterwards the SD card no longer reads on my Windows machine once this happened) as well as my Ubutuntu Mate with Disk utility.
I know the pi is working with the regular boot disc I have for it.
The card is SDHC 4 gig.

Before I go to another disk to boot from, anything I am missing or need to do? It doesnt appear on my network nor can I go to it via the browser. I am attempting to boot it up with a monitor hooked up to it.

Are you sure you downloaded the correct image? There are 2, one is for the pi2 and the other is for all previous models.

Also how did you write the image to the SD card? It cannot be copied to the card 'NOOBS' style it mist be written using an image writer. I use win32diskimager.

Unzip the runeaudio image to you desktop and do the same for win32diskimager.

Insert your SD card into a card reader
Launch win32diskimager.exe
Browse to the runeaudio image
Check the drive letter is correct
Click write
Accept the warning and wait for it to complete.

Yes I used the image for the Raspberry Pi. Not the Pi2, I used an image writer each time. Could it be the sd card? Note that the card will not appear on my windows machine anymore since I initially loaded the image to the disk, but still appears on both my linux machines. I may try picking up a new sdhc card. Will 4 gb suffice or should I get the 8 gb? Does RuneAudio use the extra space for cache?

I would reflash if I were you. When you insert the SD card you should see the boot partition which is formated fat32. The root partition (ext3/4 not sure which off the top of my head) is not mountable in windows. If you have a spare card, 2gb minimum, its worth testing.

2gb is the bare minimum. If you want to store files locally you will need to expand the root partition (I can provide simple instruction if you need them). As far as I am aware the only additional disk space rune uses is the library database which stores the file paths for your audio files.

I only buy class 10 SD cards but class 6 should suffice. I wouldn't go lower.

I will pick up a new SD card. I am not sure what class the one I was using but it is a few years old.

UPDATE: It is working now.
What I was doing: Trying to boot into the Pi with a monitor that had a HDMI to VGA converter on it and only wifi dongle. The same setup I had for the standard Pi OS, wasn't working for the RuneAudio.

What I did: Plugged in a HDMI monitor and Ethernet cord. I saw that it was in fact booting up on screen. I couldnt figure out the login on the pi. I relented and went with the webui, the issue was my windows and other machines were not seeing the device. my Network Genie had picked up the new device though and I had to use it to determine the wifi address. I had to go directly to the device via the ip address in Chrome and Firefox (Firefox was kind enough to automatically make me an app)
/RuneAudio and RuneAudio.local in a browser does not work, nor is there a new network item on my Windows, Linux or Mac's lists. Configured the wifi to see my network and it's login. Disconnected the wifi and moved it to the stereo room.

Now that I know it is loaded and working, I am order the DAC suggested in your instructable article that turned me on to your project.

The system it is going into is a Pioneer SX-780 with two Klipsch Cornwall II's. So my dad's technology will meet mine! :
