This might be silly, but sometimes using a different USB port can make a difference.
I believe I just used dd? Checking my history all I did was:
sudo dd bs=16M if=/path/to/Hirens.iso of=/dev/sda status=progress oflag=sync
After clearing it with gparted I believe. Maybe something else as well I forget at this point

maybe not use such a large byte size Normally I just use 4M
Why Clear it? dd OVERWRITES THE BLOCKS
Personally I have hirens on a ventoy disk and I have never had an issue updating my bios this way.
Same here ā¦ Not sure what the issue is.

This is my first time using dd, and I was just trying to find a way to flash a usb on linux since I havenāt done that before - itās usually the other way around, flash linux on windows, not flash windows on linux haha. Thatās the full reason, just ignorance.
Same goes for the 16M. Iāll go with 4M this time
Iām usually more cautious and thoughtful than this. I guess when I get more stressed, my Linux good sense takes a dip
Maybe once you get hirens back on the usb give the bios flash another go.
Do you believe it might be because of the block size I used with dd? Otherwise I donāt see the difference
I actually thought this issue was a fairly straight forward thing. Maybe Iām old and just have been doing it to long 
It should have been simple, I think a consensus has been reached on that lol
Ok attempting reboot now
Reboot has been successful. Loading in to Hirens now. One moment as I get the installer again
Ok trying the install again. Although I donāt think we have done anything differently so I donāt really expect a different outcome
Yup. Same error
maybe try not using dd and use ventoy or whatever else there is out there
I donāt know if Hirens is the problem though. I can boot into it just fine. Iāll give it a try anyway
if you were able to boot into it I would think its not the problem. I have used this method for many of years and never have I once ran into a problem. The latest Version of Hirens was able to update both my Laptop (Lenovo) and my Desktop (HP) back in October it took less than 15 minutes to do both
Dunno what to tell you man. No idea what is going on. This should in theory be a very fresh laptop as well - got it for my birthday on the 15th.
If only there was more online about this error, but couldnāt find much of anything. It feels like the universe wants to spite me on this for no particular discernible reason lol.
