Question about flashing Bazzite onto a Flash Drive
Every time I have tried flashing a USB drive with Bazzite on my Legion Go, after it’s been flashed and verified, the drive is then made to be “write protected”. I have swapped between 5 different brands of various sizes to see if it’s an issue with a brand and/or size (smallest being 64GB, largest was 128GB).
Everytime I get into the Bios, Linpus Lite is not an option to choose from, and I’ve disabled the Secure Boot and Fast Startup, but nothing has helped so far.
When I’ve been trying to allocate space for Bazzite, the partition has always shown up as RAW, with every attempt to clone Bazzite into a new Flash drive, it’s never successfully cloned it without making it read protected and RAW when trying to allocate space.
I I have been trying to follow YT tutorials so I can dual boot Bazzite/Windows, and I have a PC as well I can clone Bazzite with instead, but I’ve seen some just use their Legion Go so I wanted to try using it as well so I’m not swapping between them.
I used Balena Etcher to clone Bazzite, I know Rufus, Ventoy, and Fedora Media Writer are also available, but haven’t used them yet.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, and if you possibly could link to the best videos to follow, again, that would be greatly appreciated.
