USB Help

Recommended Posts

Looking for help, new to UNRAID. I have tried 3 usb drives:

 

16gb - Sandisk Cruzer Glide

64gb - Sandisk cruzer ultra fit

32gb - PNY

 

with no luck booting from the flash drive. I have downloaded both Unraid USB Creator and Unraid server 6.5.2 and ran as administrator. Tried on both my server and laptop and won't boot. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the link. So when I run the Unraid Flash Creator with Version 6.5.3. This is what I get:

 

Config 

EFI 

syslinux

bzfirmware

bzimage

bzmodules

bzroot

bzroot-gui

changes

license

make_bootable

make_bootable_linux

make_bootable_mac

memtest

 

 

 

 

That agrees with the contents of the zip file I just downloaded. That wiki isn't completely up-to-date.

 

What exactly are you trying to determine from the list?

Have you tried the manual installation here?

I'm wondering if the sticks need to be usb 2.0?

unRAID itself doesn't require USB 2.0 but some weird and wonderful motherboards do to boot.

 

I mean may be stating the obvious - did you run make_bootable.bat?

 

I have seen a motherboard having weird issues booting from USB in UEFI so might want to try Legacy mode.

If these were all USB3 flash drives, then that might be the issue, but what we more often see is motherboards that can't boot from a USB3 port. Have you tried other ports?

 

Or they will boot from the USB3 port then lose connection and then unRAID won't be able to access it anymore.
