(I'm going to use a translator and I hope it's understood)
Hello, in my country, USB and CDs are quite expensive, and the systems that I install on my PC are installed from a hard drive partition.
Well the issue is that when I try to install bodhi linux on my computer, it always shows me an error about corrupt files, I thought I had downloaded the file wrong, so I downloaded it again, and when I reinstalled it, it showed an error again of corrupt files, so I decided to download the HWE version, but it still showed me a corrupt files error
When I installed Lubuntu and Linux Lite, this did not happen, it was installed normally, and the software I used was unetbootin

Hi zrtec,
Did you check the files were t corrupted. MD5 or sha? I rarely do and every so often I go through the whole install process before finding out.
Can you give more details about your computer and the method you used? Partition information?
I’m probably misunderstanding what you’re trying to do, but I’m wondering how unetbootin factors in.

my computer is a biostar g41-m7
I downloaded the ISO via torrent, although the second time I did it normally
Well, the unetbootin process is strange, but I will try to explain it, on a Windows computer I open the program and select "diskimage" and select the bodhi linux iso, then where it says "type" I select hard disk and then select the disk "C:" The installation files are put in the same partition where the Windows system is located, then I restart the computer and select "unetbootin" in dualboot, and so I tried to install but I got an error about corrupt files
and for a strange reason when I tried to open the installer it gave me an error, but after several attempts it managed to open, apart from when the installation failed, my computer no longer recognized Windows and could not start, I had to reinstall Windows

Thanks for explaining it will help us troubleshoot, however, that’s a method I’ve never used before, or was even aware existed, so I’m not the best person to help. I would try to replicate it but I don’t have windows on any of my machines. So if anyone else here has experience of this or can try to replicate then please do.

If you already have grub installed, like from previous installation with lubuntu or whatever, its possible to boot an iso with that... would have to look up how to do it.
Had never heard of the unetbootin method tho.

Does Unetbootin work with Bodhi at all? I remember around 2017 I stopped using Unetbootin because it could not handle the Bodhi image format, so we switched to Balena Etcher to handle USB sticks and have been doing so ever since.
I don't know if Unetbootin fixed whatever the problem was or not, but since Zrtec states that it works with other distros but not with Bodhi, I guess the problem remained.
As the rest, I was also not aware of the custom procedure in Unetbootin to boot an image partition, but Etcher does not have it, so it would not solve your problem.
Zrtec, if it is possible for you to say, I wonder in which country a USB or CD is still very expensive.

Technically you'd need a DVD-R, and they're cheaper than CD-Rs these days anyway which seems wierd. But that assumes you have an optical drive.....

If you want to boot an iso, ventoy is a good way to do it. You can have more than one iso in ventoy. Yes you can do it with GRUB2, but its lot more complicated. There is even an option in ventoy to add a "save file" to live linux that dont necessarily offer that natively when booted live. Be aware this may or may not work depending on the distribution. Sort of an experimental feature. For many the live boot is a demo, then they expect you to install it. Now some do offer to create a save file, like Puppy linux has forever in its "frugal" mode. Knoppix does too, think there are others.
