April 5, 20206 yr Hello all I upgraded my setup and installed a Asus Prime X570-Pro with a Ryzen 9 3900X. I updated the Bios to the latest version but when I try to boot of Unraid again from USB, it doesn't boot, the boot options only recognizes the UEFI partition of the USB and even after disabling secure but in Bios, that's the only option from USB that I can see. What am I missing or doing wrong? Can anyone assist. Btw, I've only been using Unraid for about 3 weeks. Thanks in advance.

Rename the EFI- folder on the flash drive to EFI (no trailing '-') if you have not already done so.

April 25, 20206 yr Author I turned off fast boot, removed boot keys, enabled legacy boot. Changed the boot order and disabled all other drives from the list. As for what specifically did it, I really dont know but it booted. Edit: I think I figured out what it caused my issue. I was leaving only the UNRAID USB drive alone as an option to boot from and "disabled" all other options/drives. Seems the BIOS dont like that, once I added another option (used one of the other drives that has no OS in) but left the boot order to boot the UNRAID first, it booted fine.

January 8, 20215 yr I have tried this so many times today and I can get it to boot into unraid using UEFI (not legacy) but when I try and GPU passthrough to install a win10 VM I get nothing but a black screen Edited January 8, 20215 yr by Flannoland missed words

Rename the EFI- folder on the flash drive to EFI (no trailing '-') if you have not already done so. Could not get my MSI X570-A Pro to boot for anything, tried various USB drives for two days now. No luck. Then I found your recommendation "Rename the EFI- folder on the flash drive to EFI" and works like a charm! Thank you Hoopster!
October 24, 20223 yr Thanks. I was trying to use a ASUS Z590-A and was not able to boot. The suggestions in this thread helped me to get it to boot, however, it wants to do an Intel network boot first despite the USB being first in the chain.
