Here is an another mention of that problem, posted 8 months ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/11r7gi8/fedora_media_check_fails_at_48_every_time_during/
Fun fact — if I choose a non-default option to run Fedora Live without media check then it does run successfully.
I verified the ISO file downloaded by Media Writer with this commands in my WSL2:
curl -O https://fedoraproject.org/fedora.gpg
gpgv --keyring ./fedora.gpg Fedora-Workstation-39-1.5-x86_64-CHECKSUM
sha256sum -c Fedora-Workstation-39-1.5-x86_64-CHECKSUM
The output says:
Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-39-1.5.iso: OK
sha256sum: WARNING: 19 lines are improperly formatted
Could these improperly formatted lines be the problem?
EDITED: The answer is no — manually downloaded with Google Chrome ISO from the official site has the same 19 improperly formatted lines.
I am also getting the same failure in the media check after booting the USB made with Fedora Media Writer. The failure happens at the same point as you mentioned - 4.8%
My environment:
Similar reports of the issue:
A workaround I used is to download an ISO file manually and use Rufus to create a bootable USB stick.
I've had a failed media check when using the 5.0.9 win64 release with either F38 or F39 workstation (downloaded through Firefox). It was the only time I tried that release and its possible my media check failure could have happened from something unrelated, but I've used and continue using the latest dev/pre-release version (Oct 25, 2023) without issue and haven't seen any failed checks, including a few hours ago today with F39 Workstation. I recently replaced bad RAM and can't rule that out as a reason for the bad media write.
I flash downloaded images from Firefox or aria2c with MediaWriter on Windows 10 LTSC 21H2 to a 1TB external HDD and Indexing disabled (removed the whole Search service). I never tried downloading an image from MediaWriter itself.
Right mine's also failing, but only using the Windows version (Latest)

I have encountered a problem trying to install Fedora 39 created with Fedora Media Writer 5.0.6 on Windows 11 with my Lenovo IdeaPad 5 14ARE05 81YM00CFRK notebook. Media check fails with the same 004.8% of progress passed. Media Writer have worked without errors — it did media check successfully after downloading and writing the Fedora image to my USB stick.
I have tried two different USB sticks without luck. I am ready to add any additional information to nail that bug.
I have USB 3.2 type A port on my computer and Kingstone DTSE9 16 GB USB 2.0 stick.
