Trying to install Qubes 3.2

-Lenovo P70 with nvidia graphic card
-Followed recommended settings for Lenovo bios: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/thinkpad-troubleshooting/
-Intel SSD (not NVME)
-Followed instructions here to get qubes to boot https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/uefi-troubleshooting/

-After install but before reboot I add the Xen flags as recommended on that page:
Edit /mnt/sysimage/boot/efi/EFI/qubes/xen.cfg and add to every kernel section:
mapbs=1
noexitboot=1

Then I reboot and qubes setup continues normally until it gets to setting up the TemplateVMs

I get the following error:

['/usr/bin/qubes/pref','--set','default-template','fedora-23'] failed:
stdout:""
stderr: "A VM with the name 'fedora-23' does not exist in the system"

Here is the error: http://imgur.com/a/zgE6Q


When I click OK, the setup says that it has completed and boots to the desktop but I have none of the VMs that were supposed to be setup (none that are based on Fedora).

Resulting Qubes VM Manager: http://imgur.com/a/sxkVM

I cannot get online to do any updates because there is no way to set up a NetVM

I have
-dom0
-debian-8 Template
-whonix-gw Template
-whonix-ws Template

Do NOT have
-NetVM
-FirewallVM
-Fedora 23 Template
-Work
-Personal
-Untrusted
-Vault

Is there any way to fix this and get all the defaults? (I'm happy to reinstall rather than trying to set it all up manually)

Thanks!

Are you sure about installation media integrity? Having some of
templates, but not others suggests broken installation media (namely:
broken/missing Packages/q/qubes-template-fedora-23-....rpm file).

That was the problem, thank you!

I re-burned the ISO on to my USB drive and problem solved. It must have been an issue with dd the first time.

Issue closed/solved.

Thanks again!

Uninstall the software which you installed lately.
Run SmartPCFixer, choose System Tools, and click Uninstaller, then choose the application you have just installed.Update your Windows 8 to the latest version.
For windows 7 users:
Click Start, and search windows update
System restore is always the best way to fix common computer errors.
