Aaargh! Why can I not just install from a USB drive? Also has anyone any tips on not failing to write an image?

[/RaspberryPi]

OK, so I wrote an image using the Raspberry Pi Imager to a 256GB Samsung MicroSD card, I boot my Pi and I get a Superblock error, i formatted the drive, rewrote the image and got a different error regarding reding the FAT partition. Now i'm reformatting again but something has clearly gone wrong as it's taking ages. If I could just put the image onto a USB drive and install it like a normal distro i'd have not had these problems but here we are.

Hopefully the card, which has been ejected or removed when the devices are turned off, isn't completely borked however if it isn't why am I having so many problems writing the image to an SD card? My SD card reader works just fine and has never caused me an issue, the image is freshly downloaded and also just fine (Bookworm Lite) however something is clearly wrong.
