Solution Veah Posted April 4, 2022 Solution Share Posted April 4, 2022 Hello Unraid Community. This is my first post here and I found a solution for a problem I had all day and I wanted to share because I was unable to find this exact problem listed with a solution provided. It is entirely possible that I have posted this in the wrong place, mods please feel free to put this where it belongs if so. The Problem: Loading Unraid on a 64GB (and presumably larger) thumb drive. The Solution: 1. Run Unraid USB Flash Creator. This works as an initial install or as a restore from a backup .zip 2. When it hangs at ‘Syncing File System…’ 3. Run Rufus and use following settings: Boot Selection = FreeDOS Volume Label = UNRAID File System = Large FAT32 4. START (Run Ruufus) > OK. Unraid Flash Creator should finish extracting/installing. Eject USB Install in Unraid device. Incidentally, if the problem (which I saw a few threads on) is that the Unraid Flash Creator is hung up on 'Syncing File Systems', the alternative to Rufus is to run a Windows Quick Format naming the volume 'UNRAID'. When it completes, the Unraid Flash Creator continues its process of building the flash stick. Thank you all for being such a helpful group. 1 3 Quote Link to comment
