| Problem | Cause | Solution | |---------|-------|----------| | USB not recognized in BIOS | Wrong partition scheme (GPT instead of MBR) | Re-create using Rufus with MBR / BIOS target | | “ISOLINUX checksum bad” | Corrupted write or bad USB sector | Use Rufus’ “Check device for bad blocks”, rewrite | | Stuck at “boot:” prompt | Missing or corrupted isolinux.cfg | Extract ISO contents manually and run syslinux -s X: | | Black screen after loading kernel | Incompatible graphics driver (legacy) | Add nomodeset xforcevesa to kernel boot parameters | | Acronis GUI doesn’t see internal drives | RAID / AHCI driver missing | Switch BIOS from RAID to AHCI temporarily |
Check the box labeled "Check device for bad blocks" – set to 1 pass. Also check "Verify" under Format Options.
If the USB won't boot, disable "Secure Boot" in your BIOS/UEFI settings.
