Dell R740XD

Hi,

please try writing the ISO to the flash drive in a method described in our admin guide: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#installation_prepare_media

So best would be to just use plain dd. Ventoy is known to be troublesome, and things like unetbootin won't work either.
Also please verify the checksum of the downloaded ISO, and maybe try another flash drive (they can go bad quickly).

Providing information about your hardware can be helpful too.
