August 4, 201510 yr Hi, My USB Flash Drive is a Kingston USB3 DataTraveler 100 G3 16Gig. I use this package unRAIDServer-6.0.1-x86_64.zip. Everything goes fine on creation of the bootable. I try it couple times without sucess Drive format fat32 OK Drive name UNRAID ok Run as administrator ldlinux.sys file is present Won't boot! Hope you can help me with it! Thanks
August 4, 201510 yr Community Expert Is your BIOS set to boot from it? What do you see on the monitor when you try to boot?
August 4, 201510 yr Have you checked your boot order in the BIOS? Most UEFI Bios will give two options for booting from a usb stick -> UEFI and non UEFI. Choose non UEFI Or, is the system trying to boot and not succeeding? Whats the error message?
August 4, 201510 yr Whats the error message? Or try a fresh USB stick that's never been set to be bootable
August 4, 201510 yr Author My BIOS is not to UEFI I reformat a couple my flash drive always same message There is the error message Missing operating system. Boot failure Press any key to continue Thanks
August 4, 201510 yr I'm sure its something silly, but just at a loss. It certainly sounds like you ran make_bootable as an administrator. The flash is labelled UNRAID, you've tried multiple sticks, and the system will boot a linux live stick no problems. Not quite sure at the moment. Maybe someone else has a thought.
August 4, 201510 yr Community Expert My BIOS is not to UEFI I reformat a couple my flash drive always same message There is the error message Missing operating system. Boot failure Press any key to continue Thanks those messages mean that either the make_bootable step did not run successfully (so the USB drive is not actually bootable), or you the system is not actually trying to boot off the USB stick. There was mention earlier OS a syslinux.sys file. Aon the standard unRAID SETUP the top level on the USB stick there should be a syslinux folder and all files related to syslinux should be inside this. Just checking as if you have a different layout this might be the underlying issue.
August 4, 201510 yr Author Hi, Ok answer at your questions: My pc is able to boot on USB because I got a live linux and I'm able to boot on it Maybe the make_bootable script don't ran correctly but no message indicate it ldlinux.sys, ldlinux.c32 and the folder syslinux and I got the folder syslinux and files in it Very weird problem! I'm a sysadmin for many years I don't understand this one.

August 4, 201510 yr Author My board is a Intel Motherboard DG45ID BLKDG45ID http://ark.intel.com/products/34684/Intel-Desktop-Board-DG45ID
August 4, 201510 yr If you look at your motherboard specs it is USB2 and NOT USB3 that is why your old flash drive worked, it is probably a usb2 stick. again your motherboard DOES NOT support USB3
August 5, 201510 yr Author Yea, I found the way to boot on my flash drive finally! I use Rufus to format it after strait forward the normal procedure Here a screenshot (Sorry for frenchy dialog) what preset I use in Rufus. Hope that can help someone else.
