Introverted, yet I enjoy discussion to a fault.

    My opinion is still only a sample size of one.

    I try to defer to popular opinion as much as my imagination allows me to picture what that is, but that’s not as good as others actually telling me what they think.

    I’ll make my points more forcefully when I think it’s needed, but otherwise I make an effort not to act like I’m spewing gospel.

























  • It sounds like maybe the usb drive is a bit crappy.

    I’ve had trouble with cheap ones crapping out partway through being used, but be fine once you re-write the files to them. Twice now, yours worked, but then stopped working suddenly for seemingly no reason.

    The drive might also be getting too hot. That happens with the Kingston DataTraveler drives I have. If I try to read or write continuously for too long, they shut down for thermal protection, and I have to let them sit for a bit before they work again.


  • Did you try re-doing that?

    The EFI partition is something that exists on the storage device being booted, so if something is wrong with that, then the problem is something on the USB.

    Since windows still works, the EFI partition on your computer must be fine.

    You can also give Ventoy a go. It replaces the need for Balena Etcher/Rufus.

    After you install Ventoy on the usb, it will continue to work like a normal usb drive. Now you just put the .iso file you want on the usb. Or multiple at a time, even. And you can continue using it as a usb drive without removing Ventoy or the isos. It wont care if there are other files on it.

    When you go to boot from it, Ventoy will show you a menu of the isos on the usb, and let you pick one to boot. Makes it really easy to try a bunch of different distros if you want.

    And it works with windows isos, too.
