[SOLVED] Can't install Arch because of a fake USB flash drive

[marsh bluff]

So I used Rufus to make a bootable USB flash stick to install Arch but I can not boot into it because I have an Nvidia GPU in my laptop and when I try to boot into the flash to start installation I believe the kernel fails and the screen just flickers to black and puts me back in the boot menu. I read that to fix this I have to somehow edit the boot parameters and add the "modprobe.blacklist=nouveau" line or a similar one, but for some reason I just don't have an option to edit these parameters (I already tried pressing all of the function keys, tab, space, shift, c and e in the boot menu but none of them do anything). If it helps, my laptop is ASUS TUF Gaming F17 and I already checked the BIOS setting and turned off both Fast Boot and Secure Boot. Does someone know how can I boot into the flash?

[ember ravine]

i have a tuf gaming f15.

delete that line

instead type nomodeset

and also

that line doesnt belong there anyway

it should be a conf

now,

dekete it

[marsh bluff]

I didn't add the line in the first place. as I said, I cannot edit the boot parameters. I just heard that this might be the solution. The problem is I can't do anything in the boot menu except trying to boot the flash drive, which fails because of Nvidia. Are there any other ways to avoid kernel trying to use Nvidia drivers?

Yes?

[ember ravine]

when the boot selection comes

press e for me

[marsh bluff]

yeah i did that, for some reason nothing happens

[ember ravine]

what the hell

can u record a vido or smth

record the system

i need u to record u the system booting up

[marsh bluff]

ok hold on

[marsh bluff]

here

[ember ravine]

bro

thats not a nvidia issue

u flashed it wrong

lmao

[marsh bluff]

really? bruh sorry im new to this

how do i do it then?

[ember ravine]

go boot it back to windows

[marsh bluff]

yeah im on windows right now

[ember ravine]

https://apps.kde.org/tr/isoimagewriter/

can u download the exe

https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/

or this

[marsh bluff]

i just downloaded this one but it doesnt see the ISO files

imma try the other one

[marsh bluff]

this one worked i think

[ember ravine]

good

now reboot into the flash drive

[marsh bluff]

my usb disappeared from the disk list tho

[ember ravine]

its okay

windows cant see UDF 1.0

[marsh bluff]

ok

[ember ravine]

jsut reboot

your american megatrends bios can boot from cd it will work

[marsh bluff]

ok ill try

[ember ravine]

btw heres my f15

[marsh bluff]

well its not there now

i mean its there (Disk 2) but neither windows nor the boot menu see it

[ember ravine]

thats not a flash drive

open diskmgmt.msc

[marsh bluff]

wdym

[ember ravine]

is there the flash drice

[marsh bluff]

E: is the flash drive

[ember ravine]

YOUR FLASH DRIVE IS 1 TERABYTE?

okay

what we will do is..

ventoy

[marsh bluff]

ok

i heard about this one

[ember ravine]

install ventoy to your usb

https://www.ventoy.net/en/download.html

[marsh bluff]

this is what it downloaded

i need the ventoy2disk right?

i dont see where to put the ISO file here

[ember ravine]

u dont. just select drive and press instakl please.

we will copy the file later

[marsh bluff]

ok

[ember ravine]

wait

uhm

x86?

and,

press options

[marsh bluff]

did i install the wrong one?

[marsh bluff]

what next

man im so friggin dumb

it broke the flash again

[ember ravine]

dont have

a SMALLER one

or

okay

open diskpart

clean

convert gpt

create partition primary

select partition 1

active

format fs=ntfs quick

exit

then retry on ventoy

[marsh bluff]

DISKPART> active

The selected disk is not a fixed MBR disk.
The ACTIVE command can only be used on fixed MBR disks.

active didnt work

is it necesary?

and formatting isnt working either

ok wait im gonna try to recover it

[ember ravine]

oh my.

[marsh bluff]

ok good news

the flash is back

i dunno if i should do the ventoy again tho. is it not gonna break it this time? maybe change some settings first?

[ember ravine]

yes

[marsh bluff]

"yes" for try it again?

or change the settings

[ember ravine]

change.

wait

[marsh bluff]

ok

[ember ravine]

can u go to options

partition style>gpt

then

[marsh bluff]

did it

[ember ravine]

partition confgiruation

tick the preserve some space

write 800

then okau

now please send photo

[marsh bluff]

do i change the file system?

[ember ravine]

wait a second

[ember ravine]

we could try udf

[marsh bluff]

ok

so im gonna change it to udf and try again then?

[ember ravine]

Mo

just a second i have to look at gparted of my usb

[marsh bluff]

ok

[ember ravine]

okay

its exFAT

leave it as is please

[marsh bluff]

oh so dont change it

ok

[ember ravine]

just press okay with this configuration

[marsh bluff]

yes

anything else?

[ember ravine]

nope

[marsh bluff]

i dunno it looks like the only thing we changed is the reserved space right now

[ember ravine]

yes

?

[marsh bluff]

cuz i already had GPT as partition style

[marsh bluff]

ok so i try it again

[ember ravine]

can u please press okay then install

[ember ravine]

yup

we will do UDF if that doesnt work

[marsh bluff]

ok

thank you so much for your patience

[ember ravine]

no problem😊

[marsh bluff]

ok it did the error again

[ember ravine]

fuck

go to the downlaods

and in the ventoy folder

theres log.txt

i need to look in it

please open it

[marsh bluff]

ok its a loong file

you want the whole log?

or the last messages

[ember ravine]

yes

[marsh bluff]

does this work?

[ember ravine]

it shows.ö

it shows read write errors

its bad

uhmmm

lets see

[marsh bluff]

could it be cuz the flash is messed up after all that stuff i did

[ember ravine]

the drive could be cooked a bit

or.. not 1 tb at all

like 256 or smth

can u please change to UDF

and try again

[marsh bluff]

ok lemme just fix the flash first

[marsh bluff]

well the diskpart showed 976 gb right?

well even if its not 1tb

[ember ravine]

that can be tricked, sorry

[marsh bluff]

still it would be enough

[marsh bluff]

oh ok

[ember ravine]

it will csuse bad things in situations like this

if u had a linux system we could try dd

anyway

does it install now

dont u have ANY other flash thumb drive

[marsh bluff]

i gotta restart and do the diskpart thing hold on

ok the flash is back to life

[ember ravine]

do it again please

[marsh bluff]

so now with udf

[ember ravine]

yes

it will install UDF 1.0 or UDF1.4

it WILL work

with your sysfem

bıt

has to format

first

[marsh bluff]

i hope so lol

[ember ravine]

no

it will boot

but.. has to flash first

[marsh bluff]

wait

i didnt have to turn off the secure boot option right?

[ember ravine]

no

[marsh bluff]

ok well i left it enabled

so all of the setting were right

i got some bad news then

😭

[ember ravine]

your usb drive is a hard disk right

[marsh bluff]

which way did you install your linux?

[marsh bluff]

idk its just a usb stick

[ember ravine]

oh uhm.. first it was ubuntu.

i used rufus

to flash it to a thumb drive

then i switched distros.

i just used dd in them

im telling u.

[marsh bluff]

ohhhh

[ember ravine]

we can do a online installer

with your 1 gig flash

thennu can switch

download debian

[marsh bluff]

so maybe if i manage to install another distro i can then install arch from there?

[ember ravine]

of course, yes.

[marsh bluff]

maybe thats the way

[ember ravine]

mhm

okay download debian for me

[marsh bluff]

they got an official cite?

[ember ravine]

https://www.debian.org/

press download

[marsh bluff]

the file has "amd64"

is it ok?

cuz i dont use amd

[ember ravine]

hey shh

thats not it lol

[marsh bluff]

ok

[ember ravine]

that just means cpu artitechcure x64

amd licenced it first

[marsh bluff]

ohhh

alright so whats next

[marsh bluff]

yeah

[ember ravine]

[marsh bluff]

well rufus was the first thing i used

[ember ravine]

bro

[marsh bluff]

[marsh bluff]

thats why i made this post in the first place

[ember ravine]

[marsh bluff]

alright

[ember ravine]

lets see what happens

also

[marsh bluff]

what does it even mean

[ember ravine]

spinny boy

disk

[marsh bluff]

oh

so like

HDD

[ember ravine]

mhm

hard disc drive

that doesnt matter. although, u need tı boot into bios when u reboot for me

[marsh bluff]

the bios?

what do i do there

[ember ravine]

f2

[marsh bluff]

yeah i know

i mean why do i need to go to the bios

[ember ravine]

boot override from there

amd there could be a setting

like boot from ahrd drive

[marsh bluff]

oh ok

well rufus is done

[marsh bluff]

idk about that tho

i think i checked the whole bios

[ember ravine]

please just reboot into bios

[marsh bluff]

theres like 2 options which relate to boot

[ember ravine]

they are

?

[marsh bluff]

fast boot and secure boot

[ember ravine]

shut off them

[marsh bluff]

they are disabled

[ember ravine]

nicr

[marsh bluff]

ok so now i go to bios and try to boot the flash

[ember ravine]

yup

press f8

in bios

select the drive

[marsh bluff]

ok so exactly the same thing

black flicker

and nothing

[ember ravine]

...

[marsh bluff]

maybe its the flash after all

[ember ravine]

...

hmm

[marsh bluff]

or the nvidia drivers

[ember ravine]

its NOT the nvidia drivers

its the flash drive

[marsh bluff]

how do you know

[ember ravine]

we have almost the SAME pc

[marsh bluff]

alright

[marsh bluff]

so you got nvidia gpu as well?

[marsh bluff]

ok

thanks

[ember ravine]

so

im not sure what we will do :(

do u have other pc

[marsh bluff]

i have an old laptop

but its asus as well

and i tried it

[ember ravine]

jackpot

[marsh bluff]

and it got the same flicker

[ember ravine]

do u have a ethernet cable

[marsh bluff]

i do

i think it works

[ember ravine]

we are gonna set up iventoy on that old asus

connect the two pc

and then network pxe boot

[marsh bluff]

damn

oh

im sorry i wont be able to do it

the cable is in my country house, im going there today but then im gonna have to take the laptop with me and im going there on a train

i could do this on the next weekend

maybe i just try to find another usb flash

im so sorry man i ran you through all of this

its very frustrating

[ember ravine]

alright its the manual method.
open windows.
diskpart
select disk x
clean
convert gpt
creare partion primary
select partition 1
active
format fs=ntfs quick
assign
exit
select your iso drive so it mounts as a virtual drive

then this. D: is the virtual drives letter, E: s the flash drives letter. change them respectively. xcopy D:* E:\ /E /F /H

[marsh bluff]

what exactly is this

so the diskpart thing is to make the flash fitting?

[ember ravine]

xcopy is exactcopy i think its to flash the drive and copy the iso contents inside manually.

lastly, go to the boot section inside the drive

cd D:/boot/

bootsect /nt60 D:

chamge the letters too okau

if this doesnt work im done man

[marsh bluff]

so from what i understood im gonna open the iso file and its gonna act like a disk, but its gonna be a virtual one

then change the letters?

ohhh

wait

so you wanna change the ISO virtual disk's letter to E?

so i use it instead of my flash

i dont really get it

[ember ravine]

No

write the things i gave you

[marsh bluff]

ok wait wait wait

[ember ravine]

but changing the letters inside the code respectively

[marsh bluff]

firstly the diskpart thing

"active" command doesn't work, it says it can be used for MBR disks and we just used "convert GPT" so we got a GPT disk

are you sure this is how it should go?

DISKPART> active

The selected disk is not a fixed MBR disk.
The ACTIVE command can only be used on fixed MBR disks.

this is the response i get

i just did

list disk
select disk 2
clean
create partition primary
select partition 1
format quick

maybe its the same thing idk

but i still dont understand where you want me to change the letters

the disk management?

[ember ravine]

okay

did u assign

bro.

JUST GO TO RUFUS AND TRY DD MODE.

[marsh bluff]

sorry man 😭

[marsh bluff]

i tried the dd mode with arch ISO and the flash disappeared from the system

but ok ill try it again

[ember ravine]

windows doesnt support udf

it wont see it

[ember ravine]

its okay, thank you

[dusty wedge]

boogle8 received a thank you cookie!

[marsh bluff]

ok im doin it right now with the debian iso

ok its done

the drive is still here doe

interesting

so now i restart and try to boot it

[ember ravine]

sur

[ember ravine]

bleh

[dusty wedge]

[marsh bluff]

oh

my

god

i have no clue what do i do from here but WE DID IT

[ember ravine]

graphical install..

[marsh bluff]

whats wrong

[ember ravine]

do it

[marsh bluff]

oh

[ember ravine]

graphical install

[marsh bluff]

sorry

uhh

[marsh bluff]

but its arch

and the thing i got on my usb is debian

maybe i can do the same to arch

it just didnt work the last time

i dont really know what to do now

i can either try to install debian

or try to do the same trick with arch

in rufus

well i already know how to do debian right

so if i fail with arch i can just do it again

ok you know what

ill have to go pack my things cuz im leaving today anyways so i dont think ill have enough time to install any one of those

im just gonna leave it as it is right now

and tomorrow im gonna decide which is the better way to do it

thank you SO MUCH for all of your help and sorry that it was so frustrating. i am REALLY grateful to you for patience twin

[ember ravine]

np gang

[marsh bluff]

im definitely gonna come back here tomorrow so ill let you know if i succeded

[ember ravine]

sure

[marsh bluff]

i hope it doesn't stop workin tho

or were gonna have to spend another day figuring it out :))

jk

so bye for now

see u tomorrow

[ember ravine]

cya

[ember ravine]

bro

install the debian

u can dual boot

[marsh bluff]

yeah i just though about that

i dont lose nun by installing debian

i can install it and then do arch

and after that im jus gonna remove debian

[marsh bluff]

man i just tried installing the debian and it does an error

[ember ravine]

what error

[marsh bluff]

it says something like "wrong magical number" or something like that

it also says "you need to load kernel first"

[ember ravine]

please disable secure boot

[marsh bluff]

its disabled

[ember ravine]

wot

delete the secur eboot keys

[marsh bluff]

wdym

what keys

i can only disable or enable it in bios

ok wait im gonna check

i had to enable secure boot to see them but here they are

no keys

[ember ravine]

yeahhh

i

if they emptu

just a secundo

[marsh bluff]

it has to be the flash

[ember ravine]

no

its not

[ember ravine]

u should send me the error

the photo

[marsh bluff]

what else could it be

[ember ravine]

just a second bro

[marsh bluff]

ok

[ember ravine]

brother can u try making the boot entry that debian is in is first order like this one

[marsh bluff]

well its not installed yet

[ember ravine]

wor

what u mean

[marsh bluff]

i only have windows boot manager and the flash

debian is on the flash

[ember ravine]

can u press f8 in bios and select the drive

flash

[marsh bluff]

i can

well it will just boot it right?

so thats the same as selecting it in the boot menu

i CAN boot into it but i cant do the installation cause of the errors

yeah i just tried it and its the same thing

[marsh bluff]

maybe i try to do the arch flash through dd again

and if its not working ill try to find another flash

[ember ravine]

shit

THROW THAT FLASH DRIVE OIT OF THE FUCKONG WINDOW or.. retry installing debian iso

check how much gigabytws is it

[ember ravine]

bro

how much gigs is the debian iso

it should be 4.3

[marsh bluff]

what

its 754 mb

how can it be 4 gigs

i downloaded it from the official site

oh i found it

there are cd and dvd iso's

and the dvd one is 4 gigs

but do i need the dvd one?

[ember ravine]

hahaha

no bro

it failed

press download my bro

it should be 4.3 gigs

https://www.debian.org/

press the downlaod here

its 4.3 gigs

not 750

[marsh bluff]

fym "it failed"

if you go to all installations there are CD installations and DVD installations. CD ones are 750 mb and DVD ones are 4 gb

you want me to get the dvd one?

[marsh bluff]

thats what i did

[ember ravine]

.... what the shit?

[ember ravine]

yes bro the dvd one please

im sorry lol

[marsh bluff]

ok

its gonna take like 11 mins

ok done

[marsh bluff]

so now rufus with dd mode?

[ember ravine]

yep

[marsh bluff]

done

lemme try rebooting

ok it booted up

its the grub console

it doesnt have graphic install or just install options like last time

just the console

[ember ravine]

huh

what

whats on your screen..

[marsh bluff]

idk maybe i gotta type something to open the install window

[ember ravine]

uhh photo plz

[marsh bluff]

the terminal

[marsh bluff]

ok wait

[marsh bluff]

this

[ember ravine]

im gonna kill myself

[marsh bluff]

bruh

[ember ravine]

thats recovery grub

[marsh bluff]

maybe i try something ultra simple

like mint

[ember ravine]

no

[ember ravine]

no.

[marsh bluff]

is it easier?

[marsh bluff]

😭

[ember ravine]

please reboot and select correct partition maybe

[marsh bluff]

no such command

what exactly are we trying to do if its the recovery terminal

is there even a way to start installation

[ember ravine]

what

i said reboot

[marsh bluff]

what

i did

[ember ravine]

from your bios.

[marsh bluff]

doesnt matter

i just boot into the flash

oh wait

im stupid

"correct partition"?

ill try to find it

i dont see it

is there such option in the bios?

[marsh bluff]

i dont freakin get it😢

you want me to go to my bios right

so then what

[ember ravine]

look at the boot options

[marsh bluff]

yeah

[ember ravine]

show me them

[marsh bluff]

ok

[modern cloak]

OP wants arch
Ends with Debian for ??? Reason

Just get a good flash drive, ventoy gpt mode, then disable secure boot, fast boot, legacy support CSM and boot arch. Install, then enjoy

[ember ravine]

ok bro u got it

[modern cloak]

But if OP has no idea about Linux, the easiest solution is to install Linux mint

[ember ravine]

LIKE VERSION 307 HAS LEGACY BOOT

ventoy doesnt work, error at all times

[ember ravine]

read up before talking.

[modern cloak]

Tldr, get a better flash drive

[marsh bluff]

boot options

[ember ravine]

yes..

so

what pres f8 in easy menu

select the drive

lets see

and record the thing

booting up
