Ubuntu 14.04.4 – “Check for defects” – “Errors found in 2 files”












2















First off...



First off, I've already searched Ask Ubuntu and found multiple other questions[1] [2] [3] [4], but a) most of them don't fully fit my circumstances, and b) the ones that do haven't been answered fully, if at all. So don't mark this as a duplicate because it's not one.



Now, then...





The Question



I booted my computer to USB and it gave me the option to check the disk for defects. I did so, but it returned an error—on two separate occasions—saying "Errors found in 2 files".






The Details




  • I tried this whole thing twice, both from the same ISO file and using Universal USB Installer, but across 2 USB flash drives.

  • Both times I tested the MD5 hash using the official hash released by Ubuntu. Both times, the MD5 & SHA Checksum Utility cleared it as matching.




Specs





  • Make & Model: Lenovo G50


  • Operating System: Windows 10 Home 64-Bit


  • Prospective Distro: Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS Desktop 64-Bit


  • Flash Drive (1st Attempt): Silicon Power USB 3.0 16 GB


  • Flash Drive (2nd Attempt): SanDisk Cruzer Blade USB 2.0 8 GB






Thanks to 100 kb/s WiFi speeds, it takes 2–3 hours just to download the dang ISO file; so obviously I'm not gonna do it more than once unless I absolutely have to...

    Have you tried using a different program to create the LiveUSB? I personally use unetbootin

  • Universal USB Installer is the program specifically mentioned by the official Ubuntu help page on the matter.

I had the same problem with Universal USB installer.



If checksums are correct, there must be a problem with the live usb creator.



After that I used Unetbootin (on Windows 7) and there weren't any errors anymore.
