Do any other OSes Install via the same process as per your opening post?

Yeah, definitely want to atleast try it out, I haven't yet tried any other USB's I only have the one at the moment unfortunately, will need to to try an 8GB one as the Qubes devs recommend that on their site. Currently running Linux so haven't had problems installing distros, I dual boot.

Have you tried running the ISO in a virtual machine? The ISO from the Qubes website could be corrupted or broken.

Ah, on the Qubes  troubleshooting guides they advise that NVIDIA are notorious for causing problems, I believe that is during the installation itself which I have not even been able to attempt so far.

This is something that I have not actually tried yet, so I will try that next.

When you were installing on Rufus, did you install for MBR or GPT? If your motherboard supports UEFI, you can install with either MBR or GPT. I would recommend GPT though. But if your motherboard only supports BIOS, then you can only install with MBR as your partition scheme.

Then your method Is obviously not the Issue.

It's come to a trial and error scenario. I'm eager to see whether the other recommendations work.

I have gotten further.

I tried a smaller USB, this one is 8GB and I wrote the image again with DD.
This time when I boot from USB Partition 1 - It spits out some text but then reboots. I then tried booting from USB Partition 2 this leads to the screen filling up with text, then exiting to a blank black screen.

Next I will try editing the BOOT config file as suggested on the Qubes Troubleshooting guide.

For some reason, It may well be a USB Issue.

As stated In one of my previous posts, have you tried booting directly from disc?

Do you at least have other hardware that you can use to boot the USB?
