I've tried everything and I think the problem is that it doesn't recognize the microSD, I'll try with a different SD and I'll update you. Thank you

I see that you don't mention what type of storage you use. What disk do you have? Is it an HDD or and SSD? Are you certain that the problem is with the SD and not with the disk?

How did you format your SD card?
Out of the box, most new cards just have one big FAT32 partition, which works fine for basic data storage under Linux. But if you want to actually boot and run Linux off the card, you need to set up two partitions - a small FAT32 partition for bootloader and a larger EXT4 partition for the root filesystem.

it can't read any ubuntu based linux and give "unable to read FAT32".

So you tried more than OS? Did you use Balena Etcher or Raspberry Pi Imager (or other methods)?
Did you try booting without any external storage attached?

If yes then have you tried using a different microSD card?

Also, welcome to the forum!

฿itcoin for all, All for ฿itcoin.

Perhaps a compatibility issue?
