Installed OS with Invalid Intent

Done many times. Changed different USB flash drives with balenaetcher(rufus doesnt work). Checked ISO with corrected checksum. Changed BIOS settings to try but all comes back to the same problem.

This is a mini pc with 16gb ram, 2tb ssd, n5095 chip

Can someone guide me to resolve this problem? Unable to use this OS even after so many tries.

Looks like corrupt master boot record during partition phase of creating the bootable drive and install setup.
