    Trying to install/dual boot Ubuntu from a USB, have downloaded the Pen drive USB installer, created the ISO file but when it gets to 99% extracted the Data in error messages within the event log.

    Anyone any ideas as I've restarted the process and downloaded a couple of times with same results.

    What do you mean you created the ISO?

    What tool are you using to copy the ISO? I recommend Unetbootin.
