February 11, 20251 yr Hello, I am currently trying to setup Unraid for my newly build NAS. I tried three different USB-Sticks (one which I specifically bought) and with none of them I can create the USB installer. Neither with the Unraid USB creator, nor with manual installation. The error from the installer I attached as screenshot. And this is the error code I get when I try to do the manual installation. Make Bootable v1.5 Datenträger in Laufwerk H: ist UNRAID Volumeseriennummer: F2FF-F561 Ready to make disk bootable! Drücken Sie eine beliebige Taste . . . H:\syslinux\syslinux.exe -maf H: Writing MBR: Zugriff verweigert Did not successfully update the MBR; continuing... Completed Drücken Sie eine beliebige Taste . . . I also tried formatting the sticks using Rufus selecting FAT32 and MBR partitioning, still not working. USB Sticks I used: - No Name USB Stick - Kingston DataTraveler 2 GB - Intenso Rainbow Line 8 GB Can anybody recommend an USB Stick that is actually working? I am from germany, so something that is available here would be great.
February 11, 20251 yr Community Expert Solution Try using RUFUS to format the flash drive, then do a manual install: - Open Rufus and change "Boot selection" to "Freedos" - Set the "Volume label" to UNRAID - set filesytem to FAT32 - click START - once done, unpack the Unraid ZIP to the flash drive If you are booting UEFI nothing else you need to do, if you are booting legacy/CSM, run the make_bootable.bat as administrator first.
