I received a message while installing open source software Fedora 17 free

Asked By King Lopezs 30 points N/A Posted on - 09/27/2012

Hi guys,

I received a message while installing open source software Fedora 17 free on my Linux. It says “We couldn’t verify your installed media. Your install media may have errors. This could be due to a corrupt download or physical media flaws”. I do not have any idea regarding the error.

Please help me.

We couldn't verify your install media.

Your install media may have errors. This could be due to a corrupt download or physical media flaws.

You can continue your install, but the media may have errors that could prevent your install from succeeding. You may want to download this image again and try a different disc or USB device for your install media.

Hello King,

If you are trying to install Fedora 17 onto a disk that has a RAID array, then the installer may crash with an error like the one you are getting right now.

To work around that issue, you will need to destroy the existing RAID array in some way, for instance by wiping its metadata with mdadm –zero-superblock before you go ahead and install Fedora 17.

Regards,

Nicke
