OrangePeel Posted June 28, 2020 Posted June 28, 2020 (edited) Hi everyone, I am not quite sure what else to do here. I have a new to me R720 that I'm trying to move my old ESXi based Unraid to this one on bare metal. I cannot get unraid to boot, though. I have tried both my old install (with a pro license) and a new USB stick that was setup using the unraid tool. Neither one will boot. I have also tried both UEFI and BIOS. I can add the UEFI boot by navigating to it, but then it won't allocate memory when it tries to boot. If I try in standard BIOS boot mode, it just says "This is not a bootable disk. Please insert a bootable floppy and press any key to try again..." Plenty of people are using this server for unraid. What could I possibly have setup wrong? I am using the USB on the back for now, but the internal USB results in the same errors. Any help MUCH appreciated!!! Brandon Edited June 29, 2020 by OrangePeel Quote

OrangePeel Posted June 28, 2020 Author Posted June 28, 2020 Yes, I read through both of those before posting this. I did not find anything pertaining to my specific errors. I am trying to rename the EFI folder to see if that will let UEFI boot work correctly. Brandon 1 Quote

trurl Posted June 28, 2020 Posted June 28, 2020 Can you get any other machine to boot from the flash drive you have prepared? 1 Quote
OrangePeel Posted June 28, 2020 Author Posted June 28, 2020 Great question... I'll dig out a spare PC from the closet and give it a shot just to confirm. Brandon 1 Quote
OrangePeel Posted June 29, 2020 Author Posted June 29, 2020 Tried another computer... neither flash drive would boot to those, either. Re-ran the Unraid creator and copied the config files over. Worked like a champ. 🤦♂️ Thanks for the help, everyone! Sorry for wasting your time. Haha! Brandon Quote
