After selecting test media and install Qubes it ends at 4.8% then just says “media check is complete, the result is: FAIL”
“Not recommended to use this media”
I downloaded the Qubes ISO off the qubes website and otherwise did everything correctly.

pls halp :c

Note: Using Rufus to create the installation medium means that you won’t be able to choose the “Test this media and install Qubes OS” option mentioned in the example below. Instead, choose the “Install Qubes OS” option.

Hey,
Usually the problem is caused by… usb media.
The flash drive may be defective - try doing the installation on another usb media.

Did you check the ISO integrity first? See Verifying signatures | Qubes OS for the process.

If it’s fine, then it is the installer media this is failing.
