June 9, 20188 yr Hi all, first time user here. Currently using win10 and plex to stream to rokus around the house. I have to expand my storage and build in some redundancy so I figured I'd give Unraid a shot. So far I've created the boot USB drive using the "getting started" instructions. Its a 32gb sandisk cruzer fit. Unraid boots fine in my main gaming rig, but will not boot up in the media box; the screen is just blank. Media Box is running ASUS H87Iplus - Bios v 2003 11/05/2014, with i5-4670 onboard gpu. Things I've tried: A different 2gb usb drive (again boots fine in gaming machine) Fast boot: on/off Multiple USB ports 3.0/2.0 UEFI: on/off Mass Storage - Forced FDD/Auto There's other settings in the bios related to USB (USB legacy support, Intel xHCI, EHCI hand-off) but I'm not sure what they do... Any help is appreciated! Edited June 14, 20188 yr by Mike G
June 9, 20188 yr Author Been trying a different bios settings, usb drives fat32 and fat for 3 hours now, nothing works. Should I accept the fact that unraid doesn't work with the H87iplus?
June 9, 20188 yr Have you tried manually selecting the boot order when the system boots up and then selecting the flash drive?
June 9, 20188 yr Mike. Have you looked at the video, Configuring Your Bios? Here's the link, top row and third from the left. https://lime-technology.com/videos/
June 9, 20188 yr Community Expert I have this mobo but unfortunately running headless. I believe I did have to do something with legacy support originally, but I don't know if that is what I have currently since UEFI booting became available for unRAID. If you don't get it going I will try to take mine down sometime this weekend and attach a monitor to see what I have.

June 10, 20188 yr Have a look at your secure boot settings. It should be set to "other os"Sent from my SM-N920I using Tapatalk

June 10, 20188 yr Author Here's the screen shots of my bios pages. I've noticed when I set the boot priority to "UEFI Sandisk" the computer goes right to the bios screen, if I set to "Sandisk" it posts, then blank screen.
June 10, 20188 yr Community Expert I would be trying moving the SanDisk to the top of the Boot Override list.
June 10, 20188 yr Community Expert Also Google ASUS H87Iplus boot issues unraid and ASUS H87Iplus boot issues Double check that you are running the latest BIOS. There seems to be some issues with this MB. Edited June 10, 20188 yr by Frank1940
June 10, 20188 yr Author Solution!! Set "Legacy USB" to disable, in CSM change all to UEFI first. Boots like a champ. Thanks!

June 10, 20188 yr Community Expert Typical!!! Solution achieved by trying permutations of all possible settings... ? Edited June 10, 20188 yr by Frank1940
September 26, 20205 yr I fixed it by doing what eschultz said: Quote Try booting using UEFI by renaming the EFI- folder to EFI (remove the dash) on the flash drive and set the boot order to #1 UEFI (Flash Drive) in your BIOS.

June 11, 20215 yr So I was having this same issue, but with a much newer ASUS motherboard. Was trying everything to get it to boot, but kept going back to the BIOS. That last hint about renaming EFI- to just EFI fixed it for me!!!! Thank you so much everyone!!!

Reporting in from Oct 2021 and this post helped me fix my upgrade to an Asus TUF GAMING X570-PRO motherboard. Specifically, it was the latter CSM bit that helped me. Thank you for the post/thread!
December 29, 20223 yr I had the same issue on an ASUS Gryphon Z97 with an Intel Xeon E3-1231v3. Fixed it by renaming the EFI- folder to EFI on the usb stick. Works like a charm. Thanks!
February 25, 20233 yr This solved my boot issue when I upgraded to an Asus x570-e board. Turned Legacy USB disabled and switched CSM to UEFI. Thanks!
