The problem would come up after I would burn a 32 bit iso using Startup Disk Creator. The usb stick with the 32 bit iso would never boot into the state where I could "Try Ubuntu". With dd the problem was solved. I could "Try Ubuntu" and/or "Install Ubuntu". Is there perhaps a way to compare 2 usb sticks, byte by byte, to see the difference between the output of Startup Disk Creator and dd? (Use a 32 bit iso.)
