HamPC v3.0.1b1 Image Won't Burn to Thumb Drive

[NV4C]

I downloaded the file HamPC_v3.0.1b1.img.xz to my Windows 10 PC. I followed the instructions in the HOW_TO_FLASH_IMAGE.TXT file, to use Rufus to extract the ISO to my 128 Gb thumb drive. Rufus takes about 5-10 seconds to run through its process. When complete, the thumb drive is empty and is now undetectable by my Win10 PC. When I insert the drive in my Linux Mint laptop, it is detected, but shows as empty.

The thumb drive is an SP Blaze B02 USB 3.2 Gen 1 Flash drive obtained from Amazon.

Here is a screen shot of Rufus, before I hit "Start". Is there something else I need to select to properly burn the ISO to the thumb drive:

Thank you for your assistance.

Rufus appears to have some issues with regards to reliability. I'm going to change the instructions to point to Balena Etcher instead.

I used the Raspberry Pi Imager with great success. On a windows machine - only the boot directory is visible as rest is formatted (I assume in something like ext2?) but config.txt is easily editable
