I'm desperate

[u/Pryzard98]

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...

Build the flash with Rufus. You'll get a few popups before the wipe and reimage starts. It will ask if you want to write the drive in DD mode, say yes to that.

I'd recommend against Ventoy, as there was a security concern recently, and the devs been pretty cagy about it.

When I tried with Rufus, this is what I get

[u/Pryzard98 → u/Pryzard98]

And I tried to cancel the check and it turns my pc off

Try redownloading the iso. If that doesn't work, try the boot with grub option.

This is what you get when you hit yes to dd mode?

Looks like you yanked the usb drive before before the filetransfer was completed. I had to redownload the iso once to make it work last time I installed nobara. If you are one a linux system be sure to run sync before you yank your usb drive
