February 15, 20233 yr Hi, I just installed unraid manually. I plugged into my pc trying to do a memory test but it won't work, so I booted up without doing memory test. When I am in the UI, I tried to run tests for disks, but it won't work. Then I crerated the array and tried to add a share, which won't work. I have no idea what to do now, could someone please help. Thanks! Hardware spec: Ryzen 9 3900x 64GB Trident Z 3600 Ram 512GB + 1TB Samsung drive

In such a case you should download a more recent version from memtest86.com that is compatible with UEFI boot mode. You are likely to get more informed feedback if you include your system's diagnostics zip file attached to your next post in this thread.
February 15, 20233 yr Community Expert Please post the diagnostics. P.S. memtest only works with CSM/legacy boot, it won't work with UEFI boot.
February 15, 20233 yr Author Please see the attatched zip file. Thanks for the help! tower-diagnostics-20230215-1300.zip
February 15, 20233 yr Author I tried to reboot it to see if the problem can be solved. I've tried 3 times, each time I restarted, my computer won't recognise the boot drive anymore. I have to reinstall Unraid completely to get it to boot again. Appreciate your help.
February 15, 20233 yr Community Expert Not really a good idea to use NVMe devices for the parity array, best to assign the to a pool, if you don't have disks you can use a spare flash drive as the single array device. 1 hour ago, ljthey said: each time I restarted, my computer won't recognise the boot drive anymore. Does it start booting and stops or not even that?

I have to reinstall the OS complmetely or run the make bootable script again.
