Consistent Verification Error When Flashing Image File to SD Card Using Etcher
Hello all,
I am trying to flash the image file 2023-06-09-RatOS-2.0.2-raspberry-rpi32.img.xz to a 32 GB Sandisk SD card, but I keep encountering an error at the very end during the verification process. I am using Etcher for flashing.
I have already tried using 3 different SD cards, 2 card readers, and 2 different PCs, but the error occurs every combination. I have also downloaded the file multiple times.
The error message is:
"Something went wrong. If it is a compressed image, please check that the archive is not corrupted. The writer process ended unexpectedly."
I'm new with RatOs but not with flashing cards for Raspbery PI. when using the cards for standard Raspbery Pi images there is no problem.
Thank you for taking the time to help me!

Solution
Same issue here, two different cards and card readers, Balena Etcher 1.19.21. Finally got it working (successful flash at least, not tested in RPi yet) using balenaEtcher-Portable-1.18.1
