Advin Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 (edited) Hello, I am trying to boot Unraid in legacy mode however my motherboard isn't letting me. I have an MSI Z390 Pro Carbon and I set it to BOOT+LEGACY. I inserted the USB and when I go to the boot menu and click either the name of the flash drive with UEFI at the beginning or the standalone flash drive name, it always says that it is not a boot media drive and it asks me to insert one. Is there any debugging steps I should take? I've tried multiple different flash drives and it still only works if I'm booting via UEFI. Thanks! Edited December 4, 2020 by Advin Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Does it boot in UEFI mode, i.e., is the flash drive bootable? Quote Link to comment

I had the same problem with the same motherboard, the solution is to open the USB files, in there you should find a batch file called "make_bootable". Run that as administrator, it will ask you to press a button, enter works fine, after that if everything worked fine just put it back into the unraid machine and it should start right up.
