Did you verify the ISO after downloading?

Did you properly eject the USB stick after burning the ISO to it?

You should always verify the sha256 checksum. Also, for creating a bootable USB, the best way is to use Ventoy.

i did with batcher

Well, try doing it with Ventoy then. :wink: And make sure you check the sha256 checksum, and that your USB drive is still fully functional — they do wear out over time.

how do i check/verify?

9

Well, that depends on the operating system you’re using. GNU/Linux has the necessary tools built in, but I don’t know how to do it in Windows or macOS, as I use neither of those systems. :man_shrugging:

i try asking chat gpt. But thanks for the fast help :+1:

There may be another option: the Torrent; I believe using this method also checks for file integrity.

I wouldn’t advise that. It is known to hallucinate incorrect information.

if i boot in to the live version of manjaro does that mean everything with my hardware or iso is ok? Because it loades stuff

Yes, that is normal. :wink:

When ChatGPT doesn’t know something, it fabricates an incorrect answer that sounds plausible.

I always elect to get ISO images by torrent - and I never needed to check my ISO images, they always worked.

Install Ventoy to your USB, then copy the ISO there… however, if it’s failing the install at 90% I don’t know why - and it’s interesting that this also happened with Mint.

You can copy more than one ISO to Ventoy and choose which one to boot.

Maybe there’s a hardware issue… an aging HDD, or something else hard to say.

There could be one or more bad sectors on the disk. I’ve had this cause issues during system upgrades until I fixed it (and I subsequently replaced the disk).

@iSwxtchLinux

As mentioned, torrent by its very nature results in a valid download virtually every time.

Manjaro ISOs available via the download page have the option to use Torrent. See for yourself:

All you need is a Torrent client and an understanding of how it works.

Could it also be bios update issue??

20

Did you update your BIOS? otherwise, why would you ask?

As a general rule, if a BIOS update fails, it fails unapologetically – it will no longer work; period – however, as your computer is working, it’s likely a failed BIOS update is not involved. :wink:

I didnt update but some people said that could maybe help
