November 14, 20241 yr I have a dell R640, normal configuration, allowed usb access, set USB that UNRAID is on to the first boot option. I have tried both BIOS and UEFI to no avail. In UEFI I get the following error: Boot Failed: Please ensure a compatible bootable media is available. I have used several usb sticks as well as the usb maker and manual install. I have had zero luck, has anyone had issues with installing/running unraid on a Dell PowerEdge R640?
November 14, 20241 yr Community Expert That suggest the flash drive is not correctly created, or the boot device not correctly selected, does the flash drive boot in a different PC?
November 14, 20241 yr Author I have not in another computer. But I believed that it was USB related as well. But not sure how it could configure incorrectly if I am using the tool. Here attached is a screen shot of the boot settings. I reached out to a coleauge of mine who says that you should see UNRAID in the BIOS. Just curious if that truly is the case.

November 14, 20241 yr Author Solution It was the USB. For whatever reason the manual configuration of the USB and using the tool did not format the USB correctly, even formatting the USB manually didn't work. What fixed it was using clean on diskpart and then run the usb tool.
