BR0KK Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 So whats to do when the stick i dedicated for unraid doesn't get recogised in the USB creator tool? It's a bog standard 32 GB USB 3 stick from "intenso" (the small ones). I formatted it to FAT32 and the Volume is labled UNRAID (30 GB available).... Can i dl an ISO somwhere and use rufus to copy unraid to this usb stick? thx Quote Link to comment

In any case, it is often better to boot from a USB2 port anyway, and USB3 speed is not needed for this situation. If you don't already have a license .key file for that one you might consider getting something else. Have you tried the manual method? https://wiki.unraid.net/UnRAID_6/Getting_Started#Manual_Method_.28Legacy.29 Quote Link to comment
BR0KK Posted March 24, 2020 Author Share Posted March 24, 2020 (edited) Is there a way to find out what usb stick works and what doesn't. The one i have here runs fine with ESXi on multiple machines. Why doesn't the creator recognise the stick at all; WIndows does, rufus too ? thx for the reply Edited March 24, 2020 by BR0KK Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 You could always run the procedure manually Format a stick as FAT32 Make sure that its named UNRAID Download the zip file from Limetech's website Extract the contents of the zip onto the flash drive Right click on make_executable and run it as administrator done 1 Quote Link to comment
