Trouble installing ParrotOS

Briefly describe your issue below:
Hello everyone,

I recently downloaded ParrotOS 4.7 64bit ISO and made a live USB with balena (as recommended on website) to install it on my HP 745 AMD laptop. I could boot with the USB and run live system but when i try to install it, during the copying file process it gives an error and installation stops. I checked the md5 hash value of ISO image and it was good. I tried Home edition version and it also gave the same error.

Installation was done using the standard method.

So, in order to check the ISO i installed it on VirtualBox and it was successful, i could install and use it in VirtualBox. I also downloaded LinuxMint and used the same USB device to make Live USB and was able to install it successfully on the same laptop.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hey Azhar, welcome!

Did you install from the boot options or inside the Live boot itself?

Most ppl have better experiences installing from the gtk install boot option itself.

Well, i wasn’t able to find any install options from within live boot so, from the boot options.

I installed with standard on VirtualBox and it worked fine.

bios or uefi boot?

He means the options on the boot menu thats the first thing you see when you boot the live-media. There’s an installation option, a GTK install option and one for text install in the list. Try one of those instead of selecting Live Boot. Also there is debug console on tty4 (ctrl alt f4) during the installation process

Sorry for responding late, its BIOS

As i said before, i did not boot into live-media, i tried installing using the installation options from the menu.
