      I have selected "select the option "Add fixes for old BIOSes" option, but it doesn't fixed it.

        Maybe you're hitting BIOS vs UEFI problems. Is the present Windows install BIOS/MBR? How did you make the USB stick?

        See, f.ex, this ask Ubuntu post.

          I ran into problems installing certain distris and mentioned later that the reason seems to have been the MBR formated drive they did not like because after installing them on a gpt formated drive it suddenly worked. Although Kub was one of the distris that worked on the mbr drive.
