Unable to install Garuda, any version

Hello,
I’ve been trying to install Garuda Mokka for the last few hours to no avail. I have followed installation instructions perfectly yet can’t get it to work, when I try to boot from the USB drive I’m just met with a black screen, sometimes I’ll see something like “Welcome GRUB” flash for a moment before disappearing. I’ve used different USB writing tools, drive formatted to NTFS/FAT32, made sure my BIOS is set correctly (SATA controller set right, UEFI mode for boot devices, fast/secure boot off), tried different USB drives, and even tried writing the iso to the drive from my laptop running Ubuntu. Read a thread on here with a similar issue, and it was fixed for them by using a different USB, I’ve tried that and still nothing (unless both drives are dead, but I can read and write to them fine). Is there anything else I can do?
Specs: ROG B450-F Gaming, ryzen 3700x, rtx 3070, 32gb ram @3200MT/s, Windows 11 24H2.

Thanks for the reply! I’ll give that a try and see if that works!

It works, trust me :smiley: , I had to use this method on two notebooks.
If you search the forum, before posting :slight_smile: , you will see it works also for other users.
