ESXI 6.5 installation fails - exited with status 255

Hey Guys,

Trying to install esxi 6.5 Update 2 onto a SD card in a Dell Poweredge R610. Have removed all partitions on the sd card and also created a partition on it without any luck as well as tried to use the lifestyle controller boot option to deploy esxi and got the same issue.

In the setup it can see the sd card but for reasons unknown seems to not be able to write to it.

I had a look at ESXI 6.5 installation fails - exited with status 255  which had the same error but was a different issue

Attached is a screenshot

Change to a new SD card and try again.
