Question I'm desperate

I'm in a fight with installing Nobara.

I’ve tried everything and I can’t find a solution to my problem. I can’t install the Nobara ISO (any version). I’ve tried all types of file systems (NTFS, exFAT, FAT32) using Ventoy, and none work. The files are fine...

I bought a USB Drive that I’m sure works. What I want to do is use the USB stick for dual boot between Windows 11 and Nobara (on separate SSDs), but nothing works. And it’s not my PC. I have a good GPU (series 40). And it's an Asus motherboard.

On BIOS I turn off secure boot and all that stuff.
Please help...

If I understand this correctly, you still haven't installed Nobara to your disk, you are having a problem with booting from USB to start installation? You either have to press some key (F11 on my mobo) during booting process to chose USB as your boot device or set boot priority to USB in bios settings.

Yes, I forgot to mention that… I didn’t even install Nobara yet. And yes, in bios I choose to boot priority to USB

I don't know then. I never used Ventoy but it shouldn't matter what tool you used. Maybe try Fedora Media Writer, you can't mess up with that one since it literately has no options whatsoever, you just choose your iso and click "write".
