Reaching out to a friend for help with Ubuntu installation on an ASUS ROG Strix GL503V. He’s facing this error and needs guidance, but he doesn’t understand it. Looking for advice is welcome.
The process isn't fully clear due to missing details. It appears the setup is still in progress. What follows depends on whether a restart works or if further steps are needed. There might be a drive-related problem, possibly with the installation media being damaged. Your friend should restart the installation again if possible, and if the issue continues, consider re-downloading or re-flashing the ISO to their storage. Also, confirm the installation is being done on a functional drive.
He used dd to flash the install media, but now the drive is read-only and he can't modify it. There should be a simple solution in Windows, especially since he isn’t very experienced with Linux.
ISOs involve complex processes. Compression and storage systems aren't simple. Suggest your friend try tools such as Balena Etcher or Rufus for Windows.
DD is ideal for .img files, not ISO formats. Very few situations succeed.
The install media is probably bad as the USB drive seems to have issues Now waiting for a new USB drive to show up in the mail. I'll have him try to format the drive using some sort of rescue utility
It seems the issue might relate to a flash drive becoming read-only over time. Ubuntu isos are a mix of types, so using dd works—check the wiki page for more details. However, if you're new or careless, dd can lead to big problems. For simpler options, another tool might be more suitable. Ubuntu also offers a guide for rufus.
