Failed to mount "917 MB Volume"
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1529980/failed-to-mount-917-mb-volume
I'm a new user, following the official guide to install Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS, and whenever I try to actually install it on my new PC, it keeps giving me an error message saying:
Error mounting /dev/loop2 at /media/ubuntu/disk: /dev/loop2 already mounted or mount point busy
Does anyone know how to fix this?
If it helps, I'll note that I built my PC (for the first time)
EDIT 1: For those asking:
- I downloaded the Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS image
- Flashed it onto a USB drive using balenaEtcher
- Plugged it into my new PC before booting it
- Followed the instructions of the installation wizard exactly
- Chose interactive installation, extended selection, both
recommended software options
- Finally chose to erase the disk and install.
Additionally, the PC I built was only connected to the internet via ethernet cable
EDIT 2: My PC boots in UEFI mode, has 64 GB RAM, and a 2TB SSD
Also, I'm so new to Linux that I don't know how to run something like:
sudo fdisk -l (ele)
EDIT 3:
I forgot to mention this in my original question because of everything else going on, but sometime when I get to the disk setup stage, it only gives me the option of manual installation, and when I attempt to follow a tutorial to do so, it crashes, and only then gives me more options
EDIT 4: Result of sudo fdisk -l
