If you mean making a new USB stick, I have tried a couple. From reading, some other forums this seems to be a problem with M4A78 PRO. I was just hoping that some other Unraid User who had a M4A78 Pro had found a workaround.

My old motherboard stopped reading the USB thumb drive this week (I tried all ports and all the USB headers, so I guess the USB controller died). So I re-purposed an ASUS M4A78 Pro motherboard that I already had. I upgraded the BIOS to the latest version. Now getting this board to boot from USB drive ia a PITA!! Since it appears on the hardware list, I assume someone has figured this out. The problem is that I have to press the F8 key at boot BIOS flash screen in order to get a boot menu that I can select the Unraid USB drive, thus requiring keyboard and monitor and me being physically present to boot the box. Here is what I have tried: Upgrade BIOS to latest from ASUS Disable Floppy Controller (no big deal, but I could not get USB to boot at all unless I did this) Made "Removable Device" first in BIOS boot priority list Removed all other possibilities from boot priority list Any ideas on what else to try?
