ghost82 Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 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.

oOSGearOo Posted June 26, 2022 Author Share Posted June 26, 2022 (edited) 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, 2022 by oOSGearOo spelling Quote Link to comment

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 Quote Link to comment

Help......... anyone? EDIT:: Its like these disk's are NOT bootable. Downloaning win11 just to see if it will work. ::Edit Edited June 26, 2022 by oOSGearOo Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 That still looks to me like a corrupt ISO, maybe it's getting corrupt during the transfer to Unraid. Quote Link to comment

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, 2022 by oOSGearOo Quote Link to comment

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 Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment

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 Quote Link to comment

Everyone seemed to think it was corrupt ISO's. 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 Quote Link to comment

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, 2022 by oOSGearOo Quote Link to comment
