I'm having trouble booting from my Linux Mint USB drive. When I try to start my PC with it, I see an error message: "failed to load ldlinux c32 boot failed, please change disk and press key to continue." I'm using a Lenovo ThinkPad with an Intel Core i3-4000M CPU and 8GB of RAM, running Windows 10 Pro x64. I also encountered an issue with Balena Etcher when trying to create the USB drive—it said something went wrong and that I should check if the compressed image is damaged. The ISO file I downloaded is about 2.77GB, but after using it to create the USB drive, the drive shows only 0.15GB used. Any help would be appreciated!

You should try downloading the ISO again and make sure to format your USB drive using Ventoy before writing the image to it. This can help avoid the loading errors you're experiencing.
Also, consider trying a different USB drive if you continue facing issues. Sometimes certain drives just don't work well with bootable images, and switching to another one could solve your problem.
Just a tip: If the ISO still seems off, double-check its integrity after download. A simple hash check can tell you if it’s corrupted before you proceed with creating the bootable drive.
