... Make sure you select as destination the device corresponding to the USB key (/dev/sdz in the above example) and not a partition (such as /dev/sdz1)...
if you sha256sum /dev/sdb1 then you sha256sum the wrong place
dd if=file.iso of=/dev/sdb
sha256sum /dev/sdb

This gives:
Code: Select all
[root@CV000142 cvadmin]# sha256sum /dev/sdb1

OK, so your sdb1 partition on the stick is fine.
What about your checksum for /dev/sdb2? (The Anaconda 10 MB FAT partition)
my sha256sum result (stick on /dev/sde here)
Code: Select all
sha256sum /dev/sde2

wait I am confused...
If I sha256 the wrong thing, then why did it give a successful sha response which matches the downloaded ISO as well as the release notes for the ISO ?

I done it:

5bfdaa324a0115b384c31b2f3cc97d5a4cba26a8df2b493bf9ca2075fecad36d /dev/sdb2

We have the same SHA for the 2nd partition. The whole "sdb" was done as well and gives a different sha...
So, whats the process now to copy this ISO to usb? (I'll try and use the dd method from within RUFUS tool and post back, but that didnt work for centos7).

So after using RUFUS and "dd" mode, I get the same usb drive layout and sha's
[root@CV000142 Desktop]# sha256sum /dev/sdb && sha256sum /dev/sdb1 && sha256sum /dev/sdb2
9569b4aa9550ca9191a9772d2970969e6a696aa8b9bbca2ec94cc0fc60262682 /dev/sdb

Will say again - CentOS 8 installation DVD iso is broken.

Just look at the number og people who used it successfully. You can say that.
For the remaining you should not have any partition on your install media. If you do a fdisk -l on this media you should not see any partition. If you see one or more, you did something wrong. End of story.

It sha256sums correctly because you also
wrote it to /dev/sdb1 instead of /dev/sdb. You need to rewrite it to the correct thing /dev/sdb, not /dev/sdb1.

I don't think tony_down_under did the mistake you mention here as he confirms BOTH partitions exist on his usb stick with both correct checksums. He also used the Fedora Gnome(?) writer tool which is hard to use wrong this way.
The next thing I would try in this situation is to install Fedora the same way with this usb stick just to see if there is no hidden hardware failure.
