Make a bootable install USB on Win10

Anything other than Rufus, it does not work on my Windows 10 laptop. I want to install ubuntu Mate on my PC to start learning Linux.

Welcome. Good luck and enjoy your Linux journey.

For Windows when Rufus isn't an option I'd recommend Etcher.

Thanks frank. When I flashed the ISO image, and boot from it, the computer says disk error.

Can you try using a different USB drive?

The same result. The first one is kingston 32G and another is Toshiba 64G

I don't think Rufus got it wrong, it has worked successfully countless times as a professional burner.


Maybe you made a mistake,or do it again,or try using another burner,how about the Free iSO Burner.

And this tutorial is also very detailed on creating a Windows 10 bootable USB.

I recommend re-downloading the ISO and confirming the checksum. This link will tell you how to confirm the checksum.

I would also run a chkdsk from Windows on the drive. You may also want to try using a different USB slot

Good luck
