After doing the “dd” to the raw device, do not do a “sync”, as this is for synchronizing filesystems. Just remove the device. In case something tried to mount the content of the device (before it was wiped by dd) it might try to write back data to the device and by that action corrupting the freshly written image.

Well 'dd' worked without a problem to clear the PNY 64GB drive I that was at hand and I put Fedora 33 beta on it: [root@WS-1 /]# dd if=/home/bobg/Downloads/Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-33_Beta-1.3.iso of=/dev/sdc bs=8M status=progress 2028060672 bytes (2.0 GB, 1.9 GiB) copied, 126 s, 16.1 MB/s 241+1 records in 241+1 records out 2028060672 bytes (2.0 GB, 1.9 GiB) copied, 126.227 s, 16.1 MB/s [root@WS-1 /]# sync Put the flash drive in the other computer to test, the nedia chck worked and it started and asked if it should install to disk. That worked simply enough once I understood the instructions. I will try it on this box where I want to install to /dev/sdb. My only concern is getting the standard partition scheme, I may need media writer for that. -- Bob Goodwin - Zuni, Virginia, USA FEDORA-32/64bit LINUX XFCE Fastmail POP3 _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Dit bericht kan informatie bevatten die niet voor u is bestemd.
