Hi Team,

I put more efforts on this and fixed issue at my end itself.

If you see rufus download page "https://rufus.ie/en/". here a bug has been 
fixed in Rufus version 4.2, below are fixed issues/enhancements in 4.2 
version of Rufus (*highlighted one* was the issue with me as I was using 
Rufus 3.x version):-

- *Version 4.2* (2023.07.26)
   
   - Add detection and warning for UEFI revoked bootloaders (including ones 
   revoked through SkuSiPolicy.p7b)
   - Add ZIP64 support, to extract .zip images that are larger than 4 GB
   - Add saving and restoring current drive to/from compressed VHDX image
   - Add saving and restoring current drive to/from compressed FFU (Full 
   Flash Update 
   <https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/deploy-windows-using-full-flash-update--ffu>) \
  image *[EXPERIMENTAL]*
   - Fix a crash when trying to open Windows ISOs, with the MinGW compiled 
   x86 32-bit version
   - *Fix an issue where ISOs that contain a boot image with an 'EFI' label 
   are not detected as bootable*
   - Increase the ISO → ESP limit for Debian 12 netinst images
   - Ensure that the main partition size is aligned to the cluster size

so now I have installed Qube OS 4.2.0 RC4 successfully on my machine.

in nut shell, following steps helped me to get fix of this issue:-

1. Using latest version of Rufus (4.2 or above)
2. Updating BIOS to its latest version
3. Verification and usage of corrected Qube OS ISO file

From my end, this mail trail can be considered *closed* now.

Thanks and Regards
Rahul
