I'm trying to multiboot arch, Garuda, and Win 11 (idk if I should recover important files from Garuda and just dual boot arch linux)
I was attempting to install Arch linux recently, but I'm unsure of what went wrong. What I've done so far is:
-Shrink disk partition from Garuda linux, inside Garuda linux, in order to free some space for arch linux
-downloaded .iso torrent file from archlinux official website
-put the .iso torrent file into USB stick, and attempted to boot from the USB stick, and it resulted in the error messages seen in the picture
(I'm new to linux and hope this was specific enough for help)

try a different usb port and check the settings in your bios, also make sure you've made sure the checksums on the iso on the usb meet the ones on the arch download page

I wouldn't describe ventoy as difficult to set up, but that's not the point, the point is that if one way of doing it fails, try another way, sometimes the flashing software can actually be the problem
