First of all my native language is Turkish and some translatitions might not be same as program's default text/response but I can answer any question and am ready to help.

I opened the app and followed in this order:

Download Automatically => Official Editions / Fedora Workstation => 41 / Intel/AMD 64bit / MyUsbDriver => after this process it does all the writing and after writing It starts checking the process last time and it gives me and error:

Error
You driver is probably damaged

However I reformatted my driver back and checked from Windows to see if there is any problem and it says that my driver is okay. I am also adding the Windows check result to below:
chkdsk D: /f
The type of the file system is exFAT.
Volume Serial Number is XXXX-XXXX
Windows is verifying files and folders...
File and folder verification is complete.

Windows has scanned the file system and found no problems.
No further action is required.

15311552 KB total disk space.

64 KB in 2 indexes.
0 KB in bad sectors.
96 KB in use by the system.

 32768 bytes in each allocation unit.

Maybe it's related to Turkish translation or I am doing something wrong idk. I can also try default version with English but I didn't see any language version choice while downloading or making the installation. Can anyone help?

Hi, does it always end with the error? The error doesn't mean your USB drive is damaged the way you probably think, but it just means the image was not properly written onto it.

Have you used the latest version of MediaWriter (5.2.3)? I see the issue is closed now, so maybe the next attempt worked?

Hello,
No, I tried for a few times, failed in each with same error and I switched to Mint, closed the issue. But If you would like to explore the problem, I can help with that taking ss etc. Checking specific stuff or trying the english verion.

If I can help I would be glad to but other than that this issue doesn't have any urgency or importance for me anymore. Thank you for responding even it was close

  1. What Fedora Media Writer version did you use?
  2. What Windows version do you have?
  3. Have you also tried a different USB drive?
  4. Also MediaWriter-helper.log would be helpful. You can find it in your Documents directory.

It's also possible the check failed, but the image was still written properly, even though I haven't seen the check failing in the past so not sure why it's happening.
