February 4, 20251 yr Hello everyone, I want to start with saying i had the trial USB working 4 months back on this desktop: hp elitedesk 800 g5 But now after i bought it and tried again i can't get it to boot from the USB and i am losing my mind 😫 I have disabled secure boot and disabled fast boot, enabled virtualization and enabled VT-d (IOMMU) Now under the secure boot i have it set as disable legacy boot and secure boot and on my USB stick i have the EFI file without the -. I get a black screen and then the classic HP bios BEEP (Fucking beep is making me go crazy) into a screen saying nothing was bootable. Can someone please help me Edited February 4, 20251 yr by Seagod added more pictures

February 5, 20251 yr Community Expert With UEFI boot you just need to unpack the zip to a FAT formatted flash drive labeled UNRAID, if that is not working, try a different flash drive.
February 5, 20251 yr Author Hi @JorgeB and @trurl i have tried the manual install method. When i originally had it working with my usb stick (i have tried two now) i used the automatic installer. I exported the zip file to the usb which was FAT32 formatted then i ran the "make_bootable.bat" as administrator on my windows 10 pc where i created the USB aswell. It runs one command and then it is done but i don't see any changes to the USB or to the files.

I will try that, i have done these settings on rufus. It is not an issue that the partition scheme says MBR? UEFI should support it.
