Hope you can help me with it! Thanks Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Is your BIOS set to boot from it? What do you see on the monitor when you try to boot? Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 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? Quote Link to comment
pedro Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 Yes my bios correctly set I'm able to boot on a Live Linux Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Whats the error message? Or try a fresh USB stick that's never been set to be bootable Quote Link to comment
pedro Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 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.

pedro Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 I will try tomorrow a other stick from my office an old and smaller one Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment
pedro Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment

scottc Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment
