Invalid Partition Table trying to boot

[SoundMan57]

I downloaded the latest version of Moode 7.4.1
Created an image using the latest version of BalenaEtcher on a PNY 32GB USB 3.0 flash drive.
When I try to boot from the flash drive I get a Invalid Partition Table - I tried this on a Dell laptop and a Dell desktop and get the same error.
To test the the PNY drive, I imaged a copy of ubuntu-20.04.3 also using BalenaEtcher on the same drive and was able to successfully boot..
I verified I am on the latest BIOS version for the computers.
Is there something I am missing that might explain why I am getting this error (Invalid Partition Table)?

Thank you.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding your post but to me it sounds like you are trying to boot the moOde image on your Dell computers.

This does not run on a x86 based computer does it?

Thank you

I take it that was a rhetorical question... If you want to use a high quality Linux-based music server and player OS for x86 computers I'd suggest DAPHILE.
