I get this everytime I try to install FERENOS. I tried redownloading the image and using a different USB stick. I even disconnected the IDE HDD I have

Your installation media isn't good. Try to recreate with another software or burn to DVD. If it doesn't help, the image is broken out-of-the-box.
 
Hmm I'll try another image USB software and I'll see how that goes. I'm trying YUMI Software which has worked good so far with two other Linux images "MINT/Lite" <<<That Failed but now using Etcher

And... It worked! Yay for Etcher :toast:

I love etcher use that whenever I can. easy quick and has never let me down.
 
I personally use Rufus. Haven't had any issues recently.
 
Well I do to but just some OS's require special Attention to create it's Installer USB. Not even program YUMI worked for Feren . Guessing Feren is similar to CLOUDREADY
 
Yumi can be finicky.
On the regular version I had to re-partition my USB sticks to MBR manually (diskpart) before writing any OS images via Yumi.
Yumi-UEFI is even worse, cause it would work about 50% of the time, but that was on a very old v0.0.0.8. Haven't checked it since then.

If you don't need multi-boot, just use rufus. Works all the time.
Etcher - not a big fan. 130MB util for a simple tool that writes images to SD cards and USB thumbdrives is very silly.
