March 9, 20224 yr Hi Everyone, I just built my first NAS box, and to my surprise, it posted on the very first try. Unfortunately, Unraid will not load/boot from the USB. I downloaded the flash creator from the website, ran it on the USB stick, which is one that was recommended to me by a couple of people (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003YCOMG4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) so that it is compatible with Unraid. the stick registers in the Bios as the only bootable drive, but when I go to boot from it, I just restarts, then sends me back to the bios. Here's my system specs: Node 804 case ASUS Prime h610ED4: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards-Components/Motherboards/PRIME/PRIME-H610M-E-D4/ on-board wifi Intel core i5-12400 LGA 1700 with integrated graphics Corsair 2x16 GB sticks Samsung 980 plus 500GB for cache 5x WD RED plus 14TB drives LSI HBA SATA card Would love some insights, this is my first time using Unraid. Let me know if you need any other info.

I just built a new server with an Asus H610M-A D4 motherboard and found this response - it solved my issue as well. Edited April 2, 20224 yr by itz4blitz
