Hello, I am Mahi, and am totally new in CentOS. I am doing Bachelor and have CentOS in this semester. So, I am trying to install Cent OS from USB on my second hard drive as my laptop has two hard drive (SSD 128GB and 1 TB HDD). But every time I tried, I got some error, my laptop has stopped at that very point. Tried with two pen drive, several booting software. Also, I always download from the official website and CHECKSUM my image. Still can't figure out what is the problem. I hate to use the virtual box or any other virtual environment. I have followed many tutorials but all of them has stopped me in the same situation. Thought anybody could help me here. My laptop is:
DELL G5 5587, Core i7 8750h, GTX 1050Ti, 8 GB RAM, probably GPT partition as I have UEFI bios. The Pendrive I used: San Disk 16GB USB 3.0.
Any kind of suggestion would be great to help me in this situation. I would love to learn Linux and don't want to stop here.

Cent OS installation
Re: Cent OS installation
Please make sure you create your USB stick using one of the recommended utilities. Information on USB creation can be found on https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey - please make sure you read teh section on non-working utilities and use one that is known to work.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

Re: Cent OS installation
But I have tried another laptop which is from 2012, with that bootable USB and everything works fine. Only I have the problem with my new laptop, It is new though. Previously I have tried with Legion Y530 from Lenovo and got the exact problem. What do you think? Its a problem with the processor?
Re: Cent OS installation
The problem I am trying to get you to avoid is that some of these USB stick creation utilities corrupt the CentOS iso images. They are in hybrid mode which means they can boot on both UEFI systems and on systems using Legacy BIOS. Some of these utils strip out the UEFI boot capability and then it drops through and boots in Legacy BIOS mode which is incorrect.
Also, it's not the laptop that I'd be worried about but the USB stick. Try a different one.
