dexterboy1106 Posted July 28, 2016 Share #1 Posted July 28, 2016 Is it possible to install xpenology from from usb drive using ISO instead of IMG My motherboard doesnt recognize the thumb drive when using Win 32 disk imager but it does recognize it when I use YUMI but YUMI only uses .ISO I have a ga-e350n-usb3 with 8gb ram Any help would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllGamer Posted July 28, 2016 Share #2 Posted July 28, 2016 If you can boot from YUMI, it should be able to boot just the same with the XPEnology boot. maybe the.img file is corrupted, or not closed / saved properly if you made changes to it. try downloading a fresh copy of the .img file, and then Win32 disk image the USB stick again. the contents inside the .img is basically the same thing you'll find in YUMI, it's just 1 OS, instead of multiple OS / utilities. As a work around, if it still fails, you can try to create a YUMI usb stick out of the ISO for XPEnology, and have YUMI automatically boot to XPEnology every time, you'll have to modify YUMI default boot choice. Additional thing you can check, maybe your BIOS requires to turn on all USB to run either in legacy mode, or some other features related to USB options provided by the motherboard manufacture.

dexterboy1106 Posted July 29, 2016 Author Share #7 Posted July 29, 2016 UEFI is not an option when i was in the Bios with the YUMI thumb drive it appears under bootable devices but the Win32 disk imager will not show up or work for anything.

sbv3000 Posted July 30, 2016 Share #8 Posted July 30, 2016 I've got a similar spec board (E350/A50 chipset) by Asus and found that the usb2 ports would not reliably boot xpe. The usb3 ports seem to work ok every time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
