Corrupted image for SurfacePro3?

Support & help
1

I’m getting the same error message each time I try to use the FydeOS image for a MS Surface pro3.
I’ve tried downloading the image from each location and on a couple of different machines.
I’m using Balena etcher to create the bootable USB and each time it fails at the end of the verification stage. The error message I get is “Something went wrong. If it is a compressed image, please check that the archive is not corrupted. The writer process ended unexpectedly”
Any thoughts / recommendations?

On youtube I’ve seen on balena etcher being used used for this but my next step is to try a different process to create the bootable USB. Any recommendations?

All sorted, obviously not a cottupt disk image, just an incompetent user. Solved by using a Rufus and unzipping the disk image file. Not sure which was the key but it’s irrelevant now.

Actually it’s written in the instruction if you have read it.
