I attempted to switch from Windows to Ubuntu by creating an installation USB using Rufus. After the installation was completed, I removed the USB and pressed enter to restart, but instead, I got a "Volume Full" error. This has happened before with Linux Mint, but I managed to install Arch Linux without issues. Now, it's not working with any distribution; Arch fails to boot, and Mint shows the same error. I've looked for solutions but couldn't find any. How can I resolve this problem?

You might be accidentally trying to install Linux on a Windows recovery partition. Often, computers have a separate area for recovery, which could show that 'volume full' message if you're pointing to that. Make sure you’re selecting the right partition with enough space for Linux!
It sounds like you might be getting the 'volume full' message too early in the boot process. Are you seeing it right when you start the Live USB? It could help to provide screenshots of what you're seeing during boot.
More details would be super useful! It might be that you're trying to install onto a really small partition or something. Check your partition sizes and make sure there's enough space to install the new distro.
