what kind of strange problem? the only issue I've ever ran into is using manjaro with dual boot, they Arch and its knock offs use some kind of strange setup for its kernel, so my other OS's screw up my mbr and grub and it gets all kinds of destroyed , and the only way I've fond to fix it is to install windows again to fix my mbr boot sector. so Now I install manjaro and have all of the other distros I care to install fail on installing gurb then select to finish installation, then have manjaro boot then update its grub to pick up all of the other OS'es I have installed.

other than that I have had no issues installing Manjaro, xfce or kde.

If you want somebody to help you, or if you want to find other people who encounter the same problem, you need to describe it. “A problem with the rootfs file” is not enough.

Concur - need more info - never had an issue dual-booting Manjaro with Windows 10: it just worked out the box. No such thing as a "rootfs" file, do you mean the root file system?

Before starting installation, I checked the md5sum of the file it was OK.

What are you trying to install from? You cannot use unetbootin to create a bootable USB drive to install Manjaro, it never works. Just a guess..
