步骤 6 Operation completed

When the installation is complete, Imager will prompt you to remove your SD Card.
Imager will automatically eject your SD Card, so it should be safe for you to remove it once the installation is complete.
To begin using your Bootable SD Card, simply insert the card into your Raspberry Pi, and power on your device.

步骤 7 Common errors

It is possible that at the moment you begin to WRITE the OS to your SD Card an alert may appear warning that the card is write protected. This happens when the switch on the left side of the SD is in protection mode.
You can solve this by ejecting the SD Card and move the lever to the side opposite, then repeat the OS selection operation. and of the SD Card.
