Trying to dual boot with Windows

I have tried to install Bazzite as a dual boot on my Windows PC several times now, but I keep running into this weird error that basically forces me to exit the installer and I can't for the life of me figure it out. The message has been a little different each time, but I'm a noob at this and cant figure out where I am going wrong. I really want to give Bazzite a try, but I am not ready to fully ditch Windows just yet. Any help any of you fine people could give would be most appreciated.

Solution
UPDATE: IT WORKED! Here is what I had to do to eventually get this going
1. Took the advice of @yanyan and used a separate drive to install to. One that was not the same as my Windows install.
2. I used Fedora Media Writer to write the .iso. Prior to this I had used Rufus and then balenaEtcher
3. I use the same thumb drive for almost every install and file transfer I do. I reformat afterwards, and its a solid thumb drive, but still. Maybe it was just over this shit. Its a 64gb SanDisk in case anyone was wondering. Still, it may have been cooked because this time, I used a brand new thumb drive with no mileage on it. This suggestion was also from @yanyan

Not sure which of these, if nay is what finally did it, but I now have my dual boot set and I'm ready to start playing with Bazzite!
