I'll give it another try, reformat the drive and build it again and see how it goes. as far as I can tell everything worked perfectly the first time.

>>58966656
Did you try its own troubleshooting steps?

did you verify the checksum?

>>58966691
I reformatted the drive before I began. Doing so again for the second time

>>58966719
is it a sandisk? cause they don't work

This one is too newfag for checksums. He only did what the guide said because no common sense.

>>58966735

Download Rosa Image Writer and use that instead, no need to follow a fucking tutorial just to make a bootable USB.
