I downloaded and extracted the .zip file straight from the manual installation section in the guide. I forgot to run the batch file though. After running it, UNRAID OS finally loads! Is there any underlying reason which could have been the cause for UEFI not working?

I just tried this and it loaded into something but there are just a bunch of error messages. It says "Drive is too large to handle, using only 1st 8 GB" and then ends by stating "illegal partition table". Also, it says FreeCom version 0.86 before giving me a place to enter commands on a C drive?

I just attempted a format with Rufus using settings from a post that JorgeB replied to a year ago, then attempted a manual install. Still no luck. SHould i try legacy mode with CSM enabled and have the Batch file run on the drive? Also, will I need to add a dash to the EFI folder when I attempt this as well?

No, I had used the Unraid creation tool and done it manually with windows format but I haven’t used Rufus. trurl recommended I try legacy boot first but I can try both when I get back home.

That is how I have it now but it wasn’t working. Here I am just asking how to do it trying in legacy

I don’t believe this is the issue because it booted on a different system fine. I can try though. Will I have to do the manual install afterwards or no?

I think I did but I am not sure if I did it correctly. Do I need to enable CSM and add a dash to the EFI folder? Or just enable CSM and try that way?

It booted up instantly on a different System with a 9800x3d and MSI B850i with 2x16 G. SKILL CL32 6000 MT/s memory. I am not sure where to go from here since I already verified the memory working in the other system and the motherboards are both MSI.

Yes I was able to boot with memtest and had no fails in the test. I also can get to windows. I am not in a spot now with a computer other than this system. I can try when I get to another one. If it boots to another system, what should I try on this one?

I tried this yesterday on the 2.0 flash drive. I just tried it on a 3.0 but it seems to yield the same result even on 7.2.2 instead of the latest release.

I ran the system with memtest 86 and it passed but still no luck. I also tried a new 3.0 micro center usb which worked on the system I already use. I am already on the newest version of BIOS for the motherboard. What should I do next?

I am away from the location where the server is at now but I will test that in the morning when I am back

There is a monitor attached. It is just a blank screen. I already have no dash on the EFI folder. It didn't have one to begin with. I also have tried to use WEB GUI from the address/name.

I spend today building a new UNRAID server but could not get it to boot into UNRAID although I believe I have the right settings enabled in BIOS. It has all new parts which I'll list below. AMD Ryzen 9 9900x MSI X870E-P WIFI AM5 Motherboard DDR5 6000Mhz CL36 Crucial 2x16gb memory 3 16TB Toshiba N300 7200RPM Crucial P310 1TB Gen 4x4 NVMe I booted into BIOS fine and used only UEFI as recommended for modern systems. I also tried all ports with both a 3.1 Sandisk and a 2.0 Lexar USB drive (both 32gb) and I used the make_bootable batch file after all he motherboard USB ports did not work. I could not find an option for fast boot in the bios but I don't know if this would be the problem. Furthermore, I was able to launch into Windows Installation Media so I don't believe it was a hardware issue. Where should I go from here to continue troubleshooting?

Done now. Can't really test this because I haven't been able to replicate issue in my own. Seems to happen every week or so; will update in ≈ 2 unless it happens sooner
