Hello, Maybe the issue is with the options you used in Rufus.
Instead, use teh dd command to burn the ISO image on the USB stick (I assume that's whrt you mean writing "USB drive, not a USB hard disk"): Using Ubuntu mate: 1) Plug in the USB stick 2) From mate-terminal, issue this command: lsblk -l -o vendor,model,name,size,type|grep disk Carefully identify the line for your USB stick, as the dd command will wipe the whole device's content! Assuming that its name is sdc (adapt accordingly) type as root or using sudo: dd if=/path/to/the/iso of=/dev/sdc bs=1M status=progress && sync to know more about dd: man dd Best, Didier -- Didier Spaier Slint project http://slint.fr On 21/12/2018 20:51, Linux for blind general discussion wrote: > Hello, > > I used rufus on my windows ten laptop.
