Viper-694 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Hello everyone, So I restated my unraid server and I had the ssd from my old computer in it that had windows installed on it. For some reason the system decided to boot off that ssd instead of the thumb drive and booted into windows. So I shut it down, removed the ssd and reset the boot order to boot from the thumb drive but now it wont boot. All I get is a flashing curser after the bios screen goes away. What do I do to get unraid to boot up again? Thanks Quote Link to comment

Ok so there was a boot option for uefi with the name of the thumb drive that it was trying to boot to. I changed it to boot to the actual thumb drive but now its stuck. The last line that shows up is pci 0000:00:0a.0: enabling extended tags. Do I force a restart and try it again? Edited March 2, 2021 by Viper-694 Quote Link to comment
Viper-694 Posted March 2, 2021 Author Share Posted March 2, 2021 Well I messed with the boot order and made sure the thumb drive was first and got it working. The weird thing is the thumb drive doesn't always show up. Not sure why that would be. Thanks for putting up with this noob. Quote Link to comment
