I downloaded from the local torrent tracker I recorded the image on the disk, but after rebooting the computer accepts the disk as empty, ie the installation does not start, the same with the flash drive. What should I do to start the installation program?

    First check that the image is not broken (using MD5 hash sums) (both before recording and after writing to disk). Or download the image from the official mirror, for example, mirror.yandex.ru .

      What did the flash drive do? If third-party tools are not the distribution itself, then it means nothing. But the CD was correctly told to check the integrity of the image and then burn strictly at the slowest speed. 90% of problems with loading an installation disk are related to this.

      For the archive: as a rule, this is prohibitively "smart" writing software, which spoiled the boot image, trying to make it ... bootable. Here are official recommendations (since then we have tried to hang around all the places where you can stumble about this warning, at least on the wiki).
