Hi everyone I had to reinstall Endeavor because I somehow broke something, I lately noticed when I want to create a bootable USB with Endeavors ISO my ASUS do not recognize it even though I format the correct format fat32. But right now I use Fedora 41 but I want to install Endeavor with Fedora no issues, right away I make a ISO with Endeavor it does not anyone encounter this issue, And what to do about it ?
Usually you don’t need to format usb for this. Usually what ever you use to write image does this automatically for you.
Yes but its really weird I disabled secure boot too, but it do see the usb device but I just not able to set it as boot priority 1 it is so weird. But I will keep on trying, also I disabled fast boot that is recommend from what I could understand.
How did you create it? I hope you didn’t just copy the iso file over?

This was what I was going ask next.
Hi I first to be absolutely sure format it in fat32 then I download directly from Endeavor OS and then burned with Balena etcher from my other laptop. And then I boot directly into bios where I already disabled fast boot and secure boot , When I am in the main page in bios I see internal drive and then also my usb bootable iso but a bit grey out, if I use Fedora the letters are written in more contrast text meaning I am allowed to change boot priority. Its so strange
But you don’t need to format stick beforehand. Etcher does it for you.
Are you sure you are in boot menu? Sometimes it’s separate.
Suggestions that work for me. Ventoy is SO handy. But also, using dd directly from the terminal always works.
Sometimes there are issues with other methods.

Well about format forehand and then using etcher was to rule out what could cause the issue. I do not know it is separate in this case if so how do I go into boot ? its a ASUS zenbook 14 oled 2024.
As @dbarronoss said, there are different methods. Last time I installed EOS to my laptop I used dd on Mint I had installed. It’s really simple to use, just make sure that it is correct drive you are using.
Would it be better I do the iso on my linux or mac. I did try on mac to see if there would be any difference. But I could try here on my linux laptop
Too be completely honest I do not yet have the balls to use the terminal for burning a iso just in case lol
Here are simple instructions to use dd.
Yes dd is not hard…just as @Dinomonster said, be very very careful you’re using the right device name.
I have dd’d all over my disk by accident more than once! Still, it always works.
