Hi Qubes users,

A few days ago I came across Qubes and after I did my research, I decided that I want to use Qubes.

Therefore I have had a look at the installation guide. The pre-installation part was peanuts, I finished that.

However during doing the installation part itself, I faced a problem that I can't solve by myself.

To understand the problem I need to give you some context.

I downloaded Qubes-R4.0.1-x86_64.iso from https://www.qubes-os.org/downloads/#qubes-release-4-0-1 and used rufus-3.8.exe to burn the ISO file on an empty 64GB USB flash drive.

After that I rebooted my computer, started it in BIOS mode and made sure to run the iso file from the 64GB USB flash drive.

Qubes OS boots up for the first time and I selected "Test this media & install Qubes R4.0.1"

After that I saw some command lines and then I saw the welcome screen.

But it said "WELCOME TO QUBES R4.0.2-rc3" instead of R4.0.1

In that same welcome screen I set English (United States) as language during the installation process.

I hit the continue button and after that nothing happened. It looked like it is frozen. I waited a while, way longer than what the installation guide incidated, but it still doesn't do anything.

Hopefully you can help me to solve this problem.

Please don't hesitate tell me if there's anything that isn't clear for you. I will try to elaborate on it.

P.S. English isn't my main language so please forgive me if I've made any grammar mistakes ;)

Are you sure you didn't download the wrong ISO? Did the SHA256 digest match?

Try choosing the Install option that does not test media.
