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

14.04bootchecksumssystem-installationusb

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


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…

Best Answer

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.
