Cannot Boot Ubuntu in UEFI Mode

Question

I am trying to install Ubuntu in UEFI mode in my laptop. I have downloaded the ISO file of Ubuntu and used Rufus to create a bootable drive with MBR or GPT option. When I tried to boot into the USB, all I am left is with the Grub Rescue terminal.

Here is the screenshots of the issue I am facing:

I have even tried to load it manually, but didn't help.

Please assist.

Yes. Formatted the USB as said by C.S.Cameron – Panther Coder Sep 20 '21 at 19:25 — Panther Coder, Sep 20 '21 at 19:25

@PantherCoder And at least now you know the correct settings. You were using the option for BIOS/Legacy/CSM mode before. – ChanganAuto Sep 17 '21 at 18:30

Finally, I made the USB to boot in my PC.

As shared by @C.S.Cameron , the issue that I was encountering is because of the corrupted ISO image. I downloaded a new image and used it to boot in my PC.

NOTE: Verifying the ISO image with its corresponding MD5 or SHA256 checksum can save considerable amount of time.
