I see. Well then perhaps unraid is not the best for me. I may just need to look at something like freenas, ubuntu or windows server to get the full usage out of the technology I have on hand. I need to be able to use all the hard drives I have. Thanks for all your help and advice with trying to get this working ashman70.

So I disconnected my raid card and just connected my ssd and what do you know it came up no problem. I checked the compatible hardware list and I didn't see my raid card, but I don't have a choice as my motherboard doesn't have enough sata ports to support all my hard drives. I'm going to reinstalled the raid card after I get the unraid installed on the ssd. thanks for your help. I'll update further with more information.

All the connections are solid and working. I have 6 2TB Hitachi drives and my ssd connected to the raid card. The only thing connected to the motherboard is a disc drive. Should I have directly connected my ssd to the motherboard?

I reset the BIOS, Tried the front usb ports, all the back usb ports including the 2.0 & 3.0 ports and nothing. Still black screen.

So I recently built a computer to use as a NAS and I decided to use unRaid. Unfortunately nothing I do will make it boot unraid. I followed the usb instructions, ran the makebootable as admin etc. I tried the usb drive in a different computer in legacy boot and it boots up the unraid menu. My computer is an ASUS B150M-C D3, i3-6300, 8GB DDR3L Ram, RocketRaid 4520 Raid card. I've tried setting all the boot settings to legacy, scm to legacy/uefi, turned off secure boot, did F8 and booted to the legacy usb, but nothing has worked. It's only ended up with a black screen with a blinking cursor on the upper left side. I'm at a lose of what to do.
