June 17, 20224 yr Hi As mentioned Here I am having issues creating a new windows 10 VM in the latest 6.10.03 release of Unraid. Wondered if Anyone has successfully done this? Ive tried with the link in the guide iso, I have also tried a install ISO maid from an windows download media tool of off a windows machine I have. Many thanks -- Data
June 19, 20224 yr Quote I type BOOTX64.EFI and press enter this brings me to press any key to boot....... when I hit a key it returns me to the prompt Download again the iso, it seems corrupted, check its hash at the end of download.

Its not a hash inside unraid, difficulty working out the hash function their.
June 26, 20224 yr Author Hi I am still struggling with this fault where I can not boot a VM to install Win10 successfully. Here is what I have done since/recently. I have(with Limetech's help) created and booted from brand new EFI usb key.(thank-you) I have deleted all VM's plus V-disks. I downloaded a fresh ISO of windows 10 installation and verified hash before uploading to the array(cache) I have refreshed the VirtIO iso deleting the previous one first. I have created a brand new VM-Windows 10 The configuration shown below When I start and run this installation attempt I get the following message as before shown below. I do not know what more I can do try? Since so much has changed I have created fresh diagnostics, Attached below. tower-diagnostics-20220626-0558.zip Here's hoping that you will have a better Idea than I on how to resolve my installation woes. Please note that I have gone from an Intel Motherboard to a fresh newer AMD Motherboard -- Stephen Edited June 26, 20224 yr by oOSGearOo spelling

If it still fails, I have no choice Edited June 26, 20224 yr by song

If it still fails, I have no choice Hi Thanks for the reply Song, I see also your on Seabios, that option is greyed out for me. I did go and change to "Machine" Q35-6.2 if that's what you meant by change model!? No change in the result. -- Stephen
June 26, 20224 yr i have win11 passing card like this and works fine. Try Machine: Q35.6.2 Bios: OVMF Bus: SATA

Help......... anyone? EDIT:: Its like these disk's are NOT bootable. Downloaning win11 just to see if it will work. ::Edit Edited June 26, 20224 yr by oOSGearOo
June 26, 20224 yr That still looks to me like a corrupt ISO, maybe it's getting corrupt during the transfer to Unraid.

Thanks that thought had gone through my mind as well. Can you help with the command to hash check in CLi?? Or is there an app that does check sums!?? I did try a few days ago doing a checksum in the cli, but could not figure out the syntax, how to lay it all out. Both what you where checking and also the checksum to check against. Many thanks JorgeB Edit: perhaps the color coding on the files denotes something(exe) Edited June 26, 20224 yr by oOSGearOo

My friend installed unraid using two different brands of memory, causing the transmission image to be damaged. Unplug the other memory and restore it to normal. The transmission image is complete and can be installed normally
June 26, 20224 yr After downloading the file in Windows run in Powershell certutil -hashfile path_to_file MD5 After transferring the file to Unraid run in the console: md5sum path_to_file Compare both results.

Thanks JorgeB Iam on linux so I have used my knowledge to good use. I did not check the sum against M$ hash when downloaded however (after rename and uploading the rename), I find the following smoking gun. Same command md5sum works in Linux to, top on download machine. -- Stephen
June 26, 20224 yr Author Solution 53 minutes ago, JorgeB said: Yep, corrupt ISO. Yup ive been copying with the file manger built into unraid which for me = corrupt iso's Solution FileZilla FTP the iso = image below. Now I can do the rest THANKS to ALL who helped big and small.

Iam just stating how I was uploading them. I will stress that also new key an UFI boot also, maybe they where not corrupt before and something else was wrong......... -- Stephen

June 28, 20224 yr I made a fix for the upload of binary files using the Dynamix File Manager, please update.

June 28, 20224 yr You could just update, but re-reinstalling will get the latest version, so it's OK.

Hi Cant say I wasn't impressed with speed when I copied the iso across(5Gb+) but it was copied correctly and worked. Thanks Ps that's the speed off the copy over 1Gb lan Edited June 29, 20224 yr by oOSGearOo
