March 6, 20206 yr Hello, When trying to use the Unraid USB Creator tool I get an error "An error occured when attempting to lock the volume. Error 5:..." Thanks for any help! Joshua D.
March 7, 20206 yr Author So after more testing this error only seems to happen when trying to customize either the "Server name" or "Network mode". I am not sure if this is a bug? Anyone else able to reproduce the issue on the current version of the utility?

March 7, 20206 yr Author I haven't had the chance to boot it up. I was just preparing the drive for when i get the server build in the next few days. I will be sure to provide an update once i can.

August 10, 20214 yr Same issue in the German forums: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/112301-unraid-usb-creator-schmiert-bei-mir-immer-ab/?tab=comments#comment-1022722
March 2, 20224 yr This also happens to me. I can only create boot images when the settings are default and I want to try the UEFI boot option but can't.

March 15, 20224 yr 2022 and this is still a problem? I can't migrate my USB drive to a new drive because of this Edited March 15, 20224 yr by CorneliusCornbread
March 16, 20224 yr https://wiki.unraid.net/Articles/Getting_Started#Manual_Install_Method Use the manual method
February 5, 20233 yr I had this problem trying to transfer my backup to a new USB stick. What worked for me was deleting the volume in Disk Manager and not creating a new one. Ran the program, chose my zipped backup and it worked.

June 19, 20242 yr Sad that this is still the same problem in 2024. Not even that it happens at all, but that the error message is so unhelpful. I mean, a simple "Partition error, remove partitions" message would go so much further. I ended up removing the partitions in Disk Management and then using diskpart to do a clean (might not have been needed, but might as well) on the disk and it worked with downloading an image and no UEFI boot (unchecked box.)
