Eject the USB drive safely from your computer after flashing is complete to ensure changes are saved.

Try more than one tool if the first one you use isn't working properly. They all approach flashing the ISO slightly differently.

Verify that your computer's BIOS is set to boot from the USB drive first after creating it. This will allow you to install the OS.

How do I format my USB drive to the correct file system?

Here's how you can format a USB drive to the correct file system:

Connect your USB drive and open File Explorer. right-click the drive and select "Format..."

In the pop-up window, select the file system you want from the "File system" dropdown:

FAT32: Select this if you want compatibility with older devices. It supports file sizes up to 4GB. Use for bootable drives.Chuwi herobook pro

exFAT: Best for larger USB drives (32GB+). Supports file sizes over 4GB. Compatible with Windows, macOS, and some Linux distros.

NTFS: The default Windows file system. Only compatible with Windows by default, but Linux can read/write to it with additional software.

Under "Volume label" enter a name for the drive. This is optional but helpful to identify it later.España en la tienda Chuwi

Make sure "Quick format" is checked to speed up the process.

Click "Start" to begin formatting the drive. You'll get a warning that all data will be lost - this is normal.

Once completed, eject the USB drive safely from your computer before removing it physically.

To check the file system, right-click the USB drive in File Explorer and select "Properties." It will show the file system under the "General" tab (e.g. FAT32, exFAT, NTFS).
