How To Fix Error Invalid Magic Number when installing linux mint on windows 10 ??

[Wirosableng212]

What steps can be taken to fix the "invalid magic number" error during the installation of Linux Mint on Windows 10? I've tried a number of ways but it still doesn't work, can you guys help me ??

This "invalid magic number" means that either your Live USB creation went wrong or your USB thumb drive is unreliable.
Does the error also say "you need to load the kernel first"?

Did you use Rufus to make your thumb drive bootable with the Linux Mint .iso?

And, did you check the integrity of the .iso file from the page you downloaded Mint?
