Suddenly, the system stopped working and did not want to update. I changed the USB drive but the problem persisted. So I decided to use an ssd hard drive but the problem was still the same. How can I solve it?

The Hive OS system boots correctly and everything works normally. It detects the cards and everything, but when it tries to install the miner it wants to use, it sends constant error messages. So little I can update it. That is the first error that comes up when it starts:
Error installing hive-miners-bzminer

As I mentioned before, I had already tried reinstalling the entire system, I even tried using an SSD disk. But the problem persists. I also tried the beta version of hieos instead of the stable one. The problem is the same in all tests.
I have used 3 different ones (one of them recently bought). The problem is the same in all. That’s why I’m looking for help since I don’t find sense in this problem.
Ok, finally the problem is solved. Use the Hiveos installer. To leave the data, the version that gave me problems was the one that was installed with balenaEtcher.
