Unable to Boot Zorin OS from flash drive

Installing Zorin OS
1

Hello,
I'm trying to install Zorin OS 18.1 Core from a USB Flash Drive, but whanever I try to boot the flash drive it has the following name "General UDisk 5.00 (Fat32)", when selecting it, nothing happens and the PC reboots.

  • For further context, I have a dual boot machine with two different SSDs, one using Windows 10 and the other one using Linux Distros, I already installed Ubuntu, Manjaro and PopOS in this SSD and never had problems, this is the first time I'm having this issue;
  • BIOS is running on UEFI mode, Secure Boot and Fast Boot are disabled;
  • I've checked the ISO checksum is everything is according to Zorin OS Docs;
  • I use a MSI MotherBoard.

My Rufus Setup:

I'm trying to fix this issue for a few days but without success, if someone could help me I would be grateful

If you used ISO mode in Rufus to create the bootable medium, can you try using DD mode, instead?

Thanks!
Using the DD mode allows the flash drive to boot!
But during the "try or install Zenin OS" menu my screen freezes, I'll try using another flash device

Give Ventoy a try too. That also includes a MOK key for enrolling any distro into UEFI.

Ventoy is great and...I would also like to suggest Popsicle on Linux:

Also, what GPU are you using?

Thanks for all the answers.

I managed to install using a new flash drive!
The problem was my old flash drive that was corrupting the files, probably a bootleg.
