ok so im completly new, and need a little help here for a project annnnd i cant get parrot to run on my computer i tried creating a iso on a flkash drive and cannot get it to run whatso ever do i need to put a virtual machine along side of it?
Welcome to the forums,
why Linux fails to install [generic answer]
Corrupt download [did you check the SHA sum],
Bad burn to the pen-drive[ Rufus has not been playing well with all Linux for a while, try Balena Etcher]
Defective pen-drive [use a good quality branded drive formatted XFats]
ill have to look up what SHA sum is,
but the drive will NOT down load in fat32 no matter how many times i try reformating it before i put it through rufus…
is there any way to test the drive ,or is that more a matter of the brand?
You need to format the pen-drive to X Fats [it has more capabilities than fats 32]
the SHA sum is given on the download page before you hit the button
try Balena etcher not Rufus
the age, previous use and quality of the pen-drive can all affect its performance, I always recommend a good quality branded one preferably not exceeding 16gb cheap ones are fine for storage but often give trouble as a bootable ISO.
you will find a link explaining how to check your SHA halfway down my how do I guide
thank you!
