Stuck at the first hurdle - USB flash creator fails stuck at "Extracting files"

[indeterminate-bookshop3512]

Hi

I am excited to try unraid initially on some hardware I have lying around but if it goes well I plan to build a new PC and migrate from my synology box.

As the title says I got stuck straight away with the USB creator. After waiting quite a while to download at only 2 MB/s (I am on 400+ connection) it is stuck at "Extracting Files". I have waited a long time with minimal processor activity on a powerful pc and nothing happens. There does not seem to be any help out there about this.

I found many videos telling me how to fix the syncing filesystem issue - which I tried but they did not help (the fact that there are so many videos out there worries me slightly that such a widespread issue wasn't fixed).

 

 

I tried this on 2 different windows machine with the same result.

 

what do I do from here?

Try this:

Ok, managed to get manual install working. First few times I tried the manual install guide link took me to unhelpful places in the docs but eventually managed to find it.
