      I want to install the Pfsense OS on a server but when I try creating a bootable USB, I have only two files :

      EFISYS (F:)
      │
      └───efi
          |   
          └───boot
              |   BOOTx64.efi    (384 Ko)
              |   startup.nsh    (1 Ko)
      

      alt text

      I'm using this image pfSense-CE-memstick-2.4.4-RELEASE-p1-amd64.img (748 Mo) and I use Rufus for creating bootable memstick. The memstick is 32 Go. I don't know if it's normal. Thank you for any help

        That's just one slice. The actual installation files are on a separate partition on the memstick that can't be read by windows.
