But the point is you do contribute and you help keep the OP posting so the problem can be solved.

Second ISO failure, still could be bad Software or the software is crupted via the OS. If not, then
maybe the burner could be going bad. Just have wait for the OPs response.

So it's my burner's fault?

[woodsmoke]

lol
it could be given that other fixes do not seem to have worked.

I consider myself to be a "hardware kinda guy" and that happened to me...I use a lot of second hand stuff and more than once couldn't get an .iso to burn right and fiddled with everything I could think of before I..... checked the physical burner.... dumb me...

And, it may NOT be the burner.

But here is an idea to check the burner.

How about downloading a small distro, like DSL and burn it and try to use it as a live cd.

If that works then it is probably not the burner... just a thought.

Annnnnddd keep the folks here apprised! they want to help!

I have this exact same problem. I am sure it is not related to how I made the USB installer disk because I made 6 different ones. I created one using UNetBootin, another using usb-creator (alias Startup Disk Creator) in Ubuntu, another from a MAC, and I used two different ISO images. In every case I get the exact same error:

The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 1).
The file system wasn't safely closed on Windows. Fixing.

This is a Windows box. I'm trying to install Kubuntu on it. And no, these USB sticks are new. In fact I just made one today (on Ubuntu). From the first try, it gave this error. And, btw, the message is referring to the HDD in the computer I am trying to install onto, not the filesystem on the USB stick.

The error indicates that the NTFS volume wasn't properly shut down by Windows. The "unclean" marking likely won't go away. I suspect that the "Fixing" line indicates that the installer is trying to run a utility called ntfsfix. Alas, this utility can't actually fix most errors that might exist.

You'll need to boot Windows and run chkdsk c: /f to fix errors and remove the "unclean" marking. Then you should be able to proceed with installing Kubuntu.
