August 11, 20232 yr I am having big issues in trying to install Unraid onto my windows pc. Previously I was getting a black screen after command line had installed from usb upon startup. Was unable to do anything with this apart from rebooting, with same results. Now, I am using a SanDisk 32gb usb 2 for the boot device prepared from your Unraid Usb creator Win32 2.1 trial and am now getting Unable to find boot device, Many thanks in advance
August 11, 20232 yr Community Expert Are you booting UEFI or legacy? Also make sure with try the manual install method. https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/manual/getting-started/manual-install-method
August 11, 20232 yr Community Expert Try blacklisting the GPU you have: https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/release-notes/6.10.0#linux-kernel
August 12, 20232 yr Community Expert Connect the monitor to the iGPU, using the board's video out, possibly Unraid is using the iGPU after boot, since it does have a driver for that one.
August 12, 20232 yr Community Expert You should now be able to access the server from another computer using a browser, point to the server IP or name.
August 12, 20232 yr Community Expert That means the server is not getting an IP from your router, you can get and post the diagnostics so we can check the NC link.
August 12, 20232 yr Community Expert Next time please post the zip, not the unzipped contents. The NIC is not detecting a link: Link detected: no Try a different cable/switch/port
August 12, 20232 yr Community Expert Unraid does not include support for WiFi if that is what you are trying to use as it includes no WiFi drivers. It expects its Ethernet link to be wired.

August 12, 20232 yr Community Expert 15 minutes ago, Rapidh20 said: That's not going to work, plan B... Powerline adapters, will that work? Yes - as long as there is a wire between the Unraid server and the power line adapter. a word of caution though - in my experience the data throughput of powerline adapters is well below their advertised speed - in my experience something like 25–30% of the advertised speed.
August 12, 20232 yr Author Solution I think I am just gonna knock the whole idea on the head. Thanks anyway. All the best.
