Network card problems with new setup

I wanted to explore unRAID so I grabbed an unused pc and flash drive. I have the box able to boot up off the flash into unRAID terminal or GUI but I have no network connection. I have tried the onboard nic as well as two separate nic cards (one of which works fine in my freenas and both are known good cards). No matter what I do unRAID never recognizes any nic.

I have tried diagnostics and despite it saying that it writes the zip to the flash drive I only see it in memory and it never gets written to the usb drive for viewing on another computer. I have no way to actually get any logs or diagnostics off this pc. Any suggestions or help is appreciated.

Edit: Well I suspect that the problem was something with my flash drive. Changing flash drives I found two that did not work and one that did work finally. Not sure what the problem with the first two were as they work fine on my windows, pi, and macos machines all 3!
