Simple Fix : Parrot OS (or Kali OS) installation from USB fails after searching for CD-ROM

I was fascinated by penetration testing and ethical hacking after hearing about https://www.hackthebox.eu/ and https://tryhackme.com/. After doing some research about the subject, I realized that Kali OS and Parrot OS are the best contenders for the task. Out of the two also, Parrot OS was the preferred option of many because of
1. User-friendliness
2. Significantly less resource consumption
3. Better stability.

I already had a dual boot machine with Windows 10 and Ubuntu. I wanted to install Parrot OS too in the system. I used Rufus ( https://rufus.ie/) to create a bootable USB and ready to go.

However, after the first few steps, I came to a halt, because it was saying that the installation failed to detect the CD-ROM. Obviously, I was trying to install it from the USB drive.

FIX:
Simply remove the USB and plug it back, when you are presented with that screen.VIOLA !!!!. Problem solved.
