I tried with multiples distros/ usb storages/ programs to make the bootable usb and usb ports and i allways get the message"error: invalid magic number.
error: you need to load the kernel first:
 


Welcome to the forums, which distribution are you trying to install ?, what is the make & model number of the computer you are trying to install to, and finally take a look at this article to see if you missed anything https://linux-tips.us/how-do-i-install-linux-a-general-guide/

I'm trying to instal linux lite, i'ts an acer aspire ES1-571-33Y1 and i haven't missed anything
 
That's the one with the I3 CPU and intel graphics, so it should not be a problem from that point.
"Error: invalid magic number." last time we had this fault it was caused by a dud pen drive, and as you're getting the same error on several distributions my imidiate thoughts are try a different pen drive, preferably a good brand, make sure it is clean of all data and re-formatted to FAT32 before you burn your ISO to it
