Mount: /run/miso/sfs/mhwdfs: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.
Error faild to mount /dev/loop1
How do i fix this ? For reference i used the gnome iso image for manjaro and made a bootable USB with rufus
That might be your problem right there. Do you know what kind of USB drive it is? If it is blue inside, it might be USB 3.0. USB 3.0 support is not built in to Windows 7, you have to install the driver for it.
Okay so this might be getting to be a bit much, but here is a workaround for when Ventoy won’t install to a Windows machine, it looks like you use Rufus to get it to install. Maybe worth a shot?
Did not help at all. It just resulted in another error: minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, tab lists possible command completions. Anywhere else tab lists possible device or file completions
This message comes up after picking an option (free or proprietary drivers) also this is an old laptop ( 2010 acer aspire 7740) so im not sure it even supports secure boot
Most often - and the most likely cause - is a failure when writing the ISO to your usb.
When using windows - the lack of readable partition causes confusion as if the image wasn’t actually written. Usually it is - Windows doesn’t know the filesystem - ext4 - which is causing the confusion.
Did you check/verify the integrity of the downloaded .iso file
preferably both the one that was downloaded
and
the version of it after it had been written to the usb drive?
It should be rather rare that a file download is corrupted
but it happens - and it can happen that errors occur during transfer to the usb you want to use to boot it from.
