Hi Jason, I saw your request and wanted to help clarify the situation. You're trying to set up Unraid in a virtual machine using VirtualBox for testing. From what I understand, the USB tool installed files directly onto the USB, but it seems like it's treating the drive as an ISO rather than just copying an existing one. There doesn’t appear to be a straightforward way to compile everything into a single ISO file on Windows yet. You’ve already tried WinImage and PassMarks, both of which didn’t work as expected. Since you’re familiar with Linux setups, you might find it easier to create the image there and then transfer it to your NAS for testing. Let me know if you’d like more details on any method!

You can start a VirtualBox VM from a USB stick directly. For an ISO version, try tools like imgburn as shown.
