October 13, 20232 yr New user to unraid and I'm trying to get unraid to boot from my USB, I am having an insanely hard time getting the hardware to boot to the USB. I've tried changing the BIOS from Legacy to UEFI boot, back and forth, no success. The error I keep getting is that there is no OS on the USB, the hardware does boot up and sees my SanDisk USB in the port but says there is no OS on the USB. I've tried using the installer to install unraid but I don't see any files on the USB after downloading the program just closes. I've tried doing the manual install via the zip files, ran the bat file for Windows to make it bootable. I've set the EFI folder correctly when trying to boot the system in UEFI. I've tried multiple boot options on BIOS but with no luck. I'm hoping I am just making a dumb mistake somewhere, hopefully someone could help point me in the right direction. The hardware is a Dell Poweredge R730xd (also new to me). Final points I'd like to make, I do know the USB port does work I have been able to boot into other OS boot programs that are used on a USB to boot the machine and attempt to install the os.
