How confident are you that you got an official version from Fedora?
And does it pass verification checks?
Hi Tim, I can't be 100% certain as I don't remember the url as I
didn't take a lot of notice of it as I believed at the time I was
getting it from a Fedora site. What verification checks are you
referring to, I've never been aware of any?
There's a checksum file you can download to verify that the iso is
correct.
https://fedoraproject.org/workstation/download
There's a download button and a check button for each download. If you
click the check button, you'll get an explanation about how to verify it.
Hi Samuel, I copied the iso from Windows to Linux and ran the
verification test shown on https://www.fedoraproject.org/kde/download,
and that check said the file was ok, but it also produced a waring that
17 lines were improperly formatted. I downloaded the iso from https://
www.fedoraproject.org/kde/download overwriting the version I copied from
Windows and ran the check again and that process produced the same
messages, so I'm assuming what I downloaded is an official copy.
That warning message is unfortunate. The problem is the checksum file
has entries for all the different iso files and the checksum program
complains about all the ones that don't exist, but not in a clear way.
I didn't expect that there was anything wrong with your file. It's
almost certainly a bios issue. You need to enable UEFI booting from the
DVD. And possibly disable CSM or legacy mode completely.
