Answers.Text: I am now using the older version of etcher, and now it gets to the "validating" phase. But once it gets to 2%, it stops, and raises and error; "Something went wrong while writing". Also, just before, the drive disappears from my file explorer, I guess disconnecting from my device. Is this a problem with my SD or another bit of software?

Title: Error while downloading ev3dev onto my ev3 brick
UserDisplayName: Michael Savage
ThreadText: # Error while downloading ev3dev onto my ev3 brick
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2024-12-14)
  
  I am trying to flash ev3dev onto my 32GB microSDHC card, using BalenaEtcher, but after flashing I get this error:
  
  Something went wrong. If it is a compressed
  image, please check that the archive is not
  corrupted.
  The writer process ended unexpectedly
  
  Is this to do with the SD card or the image itself. On the ev3dev website, it says
  
  The release can be a .img.zip or .img.xz; whichever you have will work with Etcher.
  
  When I download it I get a zip file like this:
  ev3dev-stretch-ev3-generic-2020-04-10.zip
   - ev3dev-stretch-ev3-generic-2020-04-10
    - ev3dev-stretch-ev3-generic-2020-04-10.img
    - .meta
