There are other things on the flash drive, hopefully that's not causing an issue? I thought I could have the boot image as well as other things stored on the flash drive and not have problems. Any ideas?

UEFI was enabled. I'm clearing the flash drive and trying with Rufus. It's super frustrating because I'm working on my BA in networking/security and I feel like I should be able to get this stuff to work!
