The third alternative solution which is disabling the USB 3.0 port from the BIOS might be effective if your USB stick is the 2.0 standard and if a switch to 2.0 happens automatically after you disable the 3.0 ports, if not then you will still be stuck.

Hence if you have only the USB 3.0 ports enabled, then you will likely see this same error even after changing to other ports.

Some manufacturers enable only one or two ports pre OS installation and the others get enabled after installing the OS and updating the USB drivers. Here I used the word “Active” to refer to those USB ports that the manufacturer has designed to be operational before installing the operating system. The second solution is more likely effective than the first, but that is if the problem is coming from one point of mismatch, so if your USB stick is version 3.0 and your active ports are 3.0 also, then changing to another port won’t resolve this issue. The first suggestion could work in an extremely rare situation where for some reason your USB isn’t in full contact with the connectors in the port, hence reattaching serves to establish more perfect contact. Each of these three suggestions rarely resolves this issue. Then also there are suggestions to disable the USB 3.0 from the BIOS. Like terminating the installation, removing the USB stick, attaching it back to the same port and running the installation again from the beginning.Īnother is terminating the installation, removing the USB stick, attaching it back to a different port (Supposedly changing from USB 3.0 port to USB 2.0 port) and then running the installation again from the beginning. There have been different solutions proposed to resolve this problem.
