There are several possible reasons for the issue of not finding the installation media during the installation of Debian, and here are some potential solutions.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Make sure you have correctly downloaded the Debian installation media from the official website and verify the integrity of the downloaded files.<\/li>\n
  2. If you are using a CD\/DVD installation media, check if the disc is damaged or scratched, try burning a new disc or creating a USB installation media.<\/li>\n
  3. If you are using a USB installation media, make sure you have correctly created the bootable disk and selected the correct boot option.<\/li>\n
  4. Check the boot order in the BIOS settings to make sure your computer is booting from the correct device first, such as a CD\/DVD drive or USB device.<\/li>\n
  5. If none of the above methods work, you can try downloading the network installation medium and using it to install Debian over the internet, which can avoid the need for using physical installation media.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If you are still unable to solve the issue after trying the above methods, it is recommended to consult Debian’s official documentation or seek technical support assistance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
