June 28, 20206 yr 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!!!

June 28, 20206 yr Author 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

June 28, 20206 yr Author Correct. None of those off resolutions. I did search and read before posting. Brandon
June 28, 20206 yr Community Expert Can you get any other machine to boot from the flash drive you have prepared?
June 28, 20206 yr Author Great question... I'll dig out a spare PC from the closet and give it a shot just to confirm. Brandon
June 29, 20206 yr Author 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
