Hey everyone! I'm trying to install Fedora 43 KDE for the first time, but I've run into some issues. My USB flash drive got corrupted while I was using the Fedora Media Writer to burn the ISO file, and I'm unsure how it happened. I don't want to risk my other USB drive because they're pretty pricey and hard to find here. Is there a safe way to install Fedora without using a USB stick? By the way, I also tried using Rufus before going for the Fedora Media Writer, but I encountered a 'media check failed' issue during installation, which took me hours to troubleshoot. A friend suggested I try Fedora, so here I am looking for advice. I want to dual boot Fedora alongside Windows. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Honestly, borrowing or purchasing a different USB stick might be less of a hassle than trying to troubleshoot your current one or attempting a no-USB install. It could save you time and frustration in the long run. Just a thought!
Hey! I just learned about the 'Ventoy' app. It seems safer for my current USB stick, so I might give that a try. What do you think?
