I've not had any problems installing Ventoy on a USB drive. If it is not a drive from a reputable company it could be a faulty stick. Cheap USB sticks are notorious for not providing the reported capacity and early failure (see https://www.grc.com/validrive.htm for more info). Often installing something to a part of the drive that does not 'exist' will 'destroy' it. If it is just a broken install (corrupt download maybe?) it should be recoverable.
Bring you laptop to a meeting and we will help install Linux on it!

Thanks Steve. Unfortunately I won't be able to make the meeting this month, hoping I can get there in June.
By then I will have hopefully had so free time to play a bit and see what works and doesn't.
