I put Kali Linux from a flash drive on HP Pavilion. First there was a problem in the "Search and Mount CD-ROM" stage. Solved her teams

umount mnt mount /dev/sdb1 /cdrom

Now the error at the stage "Download the installer components from the CD":

Unable to read data from a CD. Make sure the disc is inserted in the CD-ROM drive. If further attempts lead nowhere, you should check the integrity of the data on the CD. Unable to copy file from CD.

The integrity check of the CD is successful. Writes that the CD is good

  • I hope you copied the file system image , not the files. - aleksandr barakin
  • @alexander barakin, so if I want to install it, then I just need to throw the iso image on the flash drive? - Flippy

    Yes, you need to copy the image of the entire file system . which media is irrelevant in this case: like most modern boot images, the kali image can start and find itself when writing to any popular block device - compact disc, hdd carrier, usb carrier. - aleksandr barakin
  • @alexander barakin, so I suffered for a whole month with garbage, writing down the image of Rufus? Then in what case is Rufus needed? - Flippy

    I'll try to play a telepath. you may have written the image not on a block device (for example, /dev/sdb ), but on the first section of a block device ( /dev/sdb1 ). Well, the bios (uefi) of the computer should recognize your usb carrier as a boot device. - aleksandr barakin
