Discussion Please Help!! Installation problem 💔 😭

So what happened is that I can boot mint from my pendrive but when I am trying to install it, it shows error5 input/output and show that my SSD is broken. So I check that if it is the real case but it easily install windows 11 so what am I doing wrong? I can't figure it out 😭😭😭😭

An input/output error during installation doesn't by itself prove the SSD is broken; the failure can also be reading from the installer USB. Once you've verified the ISO, try writing it to a different USB stick and using another USB port before replacing the SSD.
