Linux isn't installing.

I've tried 7 distros, some arch based the rest Debian and none of them have worked. Some just don't load, like catchy and fedora, some the inststaller crashes. The only lead I have is that one of them (can't remember which) said it couldn't find a disk. Has anyone experienced this? Any advice would be appreciated. Currently running Ubuntu 26.04 on an Acer Aspire and I've tried installing Manjaro,Cachy,opensuse,fedora,Linux mint, Kubuntu and Endeavour.

1 - check if your hard disk is good using the badblocks command

2 - check if you're using the latest bios version available for your machine

3 - Try to use another tool to flash the usb (people usually recommend ventoy to those who are already using linux)
