What are the steps you are following?
What Fedora image are you trying to install?
Guessing I would say that your USB stick is bad. Try a different USB stick?
That is not a problem. The 17 lines are the gpg verification hash. You have to look for a line containing the name of the file followed by the text “OK”.

Difrent USB same issues after skipping test and installed fedora downloaded again image fedora workstation 39 same USB as before verification all good and flashed image booted to bios data wipe from bios booted from USB test and install passed and then installation successful and first boot setup successful no issues latest image on fedora workstation download
This happens when a file with sha256sum lines also has PGP signature data, so is not and error and should no block installation.

Yes, agreed, but unless you are an expert user, you are not going to know that, and, thus, will, be extremely concerned at seeing this warning message, given that is the outcome of a check on the integrity of the downloaded image.
Either the offending lines in the checksum file should be removed before passing to sha256sum OR there should be an appropriate option to sha256sum to suppress this (worrying) warning message OR the fact that this warning message can be safely ignored should be stated clearly in the download instructions.
