Trying linux on windows with ventoy
#7
As Christian mentioned, if you are creating the stick from Windows 7, use the Windows download of Ventoy.  I've not had any problems installing Ventoy on a USB drive.  If it is not a drive from a reputable company it could be a faulty stick.  Cheap USB sticks are notorious for not providing the reported capacity and early failure (see https://www.grc.com/validrive.htm for more info).  Often installing something to a part of the drive that does not 'exist' will 'destroy' it.  If it is just a broken install (corrupt download maybe?) it should be recoverable.

Bring you laptop to a meeting and we will help install Linux on it!
