Fedora -ws-44 Installing

I was trying to install Fedora Workstation 44 on my PC, which was running Windows 11, using Fedora Media Writer.

At first, the download was taking a little longer than expected, so I thought there might be some problem. Therefore, I canceled the process. Then I noticed that I could no longer open or access the USB flash drive properly from Windows. Since I was new to Fedora and Fedora Media Writer, I did not know that the USB drive could be fixed from Media Writer itself.

So, I used CMD and DiskPart in Windows to clean the USB drive and create the partition again. After that, I tried using Rufus in both ISO mode and DD mode.

In ISO mode, the boot menu showed “Image Load Failed.” When I used DD mode, the USB flash drive did not appear in the boot menu at all.

Later, I tried Fedora Media Writer again. The download completed successfully, and the writing process also completed, but it got stuck at the “Checking the written data” step. It makes a little progress and then hangs there permanently.

I have tried cleaning the USB drive several times using DiskPart and then creating the bootable USB again, but I get the same result every time.
