Hello, I am trying to make a bootable USB because I want to try out Linux but the flashing process keeps failing after verification. I’ve tried different USB sticks, different ports, hell even differents ISOs (Latest Garuda linux and Manjaro KDE, to be specific) but all of them keep failing. I don’t know what could be causing this issue, any help would be greatly appreciated!
Forget about Etcher. I had the same problem than you with Win11, check my post below yours. Etcher unable me to flash any linux distro and blocked my usb flash drives.
You know how I could fix that blocked drive and flash the distros? With a free win utility called ISO2Disc.
Today I made a last attempt to use Etcher and always errors and blocked usb drives. I used that other utility with both Kali Linux and Zorin Linux in the same usb drive and worked great.
Though I used to be a fan of Balena Etcher before, with Win11 it is not worth it.
Hello guys, sorry took too long to respond but apparently even after balenaEtcher said the flash “failed”, I was able to boot into the USB just fine, even installed Linux and everything worked just normal. Thank you for all the suggestions!
