May 8May 8 Hey unRAID people,I am too stupid to make "internal boot" work. I downloaded the USB Creator and installed the latest RC on it. It is booting and I want to set up internal boot. No matter which way I am doing it (boot pool or dedicated install) it just won't work. After I finished the process during installation and restarted the whole thing I am welcomed by this screen (I did it like it was shown in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMHaMaa8iV0&lc=Ugx2Olu8WOcI6ZooXMx4AaABAg.AWYEM1qqg2wAWYnKRSSwqn):You can see that I tried to create a bootable pool with the two SSDs, but it didn't work. When I try to do the wizard again, I get the same result.Background information: I just bought a used DXP4800 Plus. It has 4 HDDs and 2 m2 SSDs in it.It is my first try to install unRAID anywhere, so be patient with me :D I am total noob to this topic.

Launch Internal Boot to configure one." And even the entry for my internal boot partition doesn't look like it was shown in all the videos.

If you have created a boot pool try setting the nvme as the boot device in the bios and see if it boots. Or find the key to go into the boot menu, F11 for MSI motherboards brings up a list of devices but will be different for you machine

So there is clearly nothing to boot on the SSDs. There are also set as the first boot device in the BIOS.
May 9May 9 Community Expert Does the BIOS show the UEFI boot option on the NVMe devices? Post a photo of the BIOS boot menu.

May 9May 9 Community Expert I assume the Sandisk is the flash drive?If so, there's no UEFI boot option for the NVMe device; you may need to enable it in the BIOS, assuming the BIOS supports that, it woudl show as UEFI: <name of the NVME device>, example:

And you can see on the second screen that the first boot option is "NVME"
