kowabunga_dude Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I need help with boot priority for my unRAID server... I have a Gigabyte H170N wifi Mobo. I have four drives and my unraid USB boot drive connected. One 12 terabyte drive that is a disk, another of the same drive set as parity, a 250 GB SSD set as a cache pool, and another 250 GB SSD that has a Windows 10 install on it. When I created my unraid boot USB using the installer, I did not select UEFI per spaceinvaderone's recommendation for use with VM's. When I have the gigabyte splash screen if I select boot options all of my hard drive show up, including the USB and another instance of the same USB but it's labeled as UEFI partition or something. In my BIOS the only boot options are the USB that is labeled UEFI and one of my 12tb drives, even my windows ssd is not showing in boot priority. I want to set it so that the USB is the first priority, and then my Windows 10 SSD is the second priority. Currently, the machine will automatically boot into windows no matter what the boot priority is set to. Is there some setting I need to change to allow the rest of the hard drives to show up under the boot priority? Do I need to create a new USB and select UEFI? Here is a picture of what my bios screen looks like: http://imgur.com/a/lZZREtH All hard drives are available for boot override when I exit the BIOS. I'm confused why they're not showing up in boot priority. This is my first post, take it easy on me 😛! Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Rename on the flash drive EFI~ to instead be EFI Then select the UEFI option as the first boot priority Quote Link to comment

Do you mind explaining why it worked? Did that affectively tic the UEFI box that I skipped when creating the bootable USB? Quote Link to comment
