So you should have a good download.

Follow the directions to check the checksum against /dev/sdf (or
whichever device the SD card shows up as).  Or you could do "diff -sq
--binary Fedora-Workstation-Live-42-1.1.x86_64.iso /dev/sdf" and let
it tell you if the files are the same.

I do not understand what you are trying to do here.

Check BIOS/UEFI settings:
o is it set to allow booting off of SD cards?  The default setting on
my laptops forbids booting off of SD cards.
o are you in UEFI mode or "legacy" mode?  I think F42 requires UEFI,
though I could be wrong.

Then do the checks against the SD card I mentioned above.
