I've been trying to install Ubuntu to my usb but every time i try, while its extracting the files on every file it says 'File is broken' next to it.

I downloaded the Ubuntu file. Its named ubuntu-16.04-desktop-amd64.iso

Heres what happens after the extracting thing finishes at 99% and it just sits there i have to close it, but then the original program starts doing this:

Extract: C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\nsw27AC.tmp\syslinux.exe... 100%
Extract: C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\nsw27AC.tmp\syslinux603.exe... 100%

Installation Done, Process is Complete!

and after that, i restart the computer and it just boots to normal windows (Im using windows 7, with the latest ubuntu) That was the 'Pen drive linux' program i was using. I then tried the software that the ubuntu website said to use, Rufus, and i tried that and as it was doing its thing it says

"Error: ISO extraction failure."

So, i dont know what im doing wrong and hopefully someone will know whats wrong. I am a first timer with linux..

Please help! Thanks!

    Did you follow the [official instructions to create a bootable Ubuntu USB drive in Windows](http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows)? At which point does the error in your question occur? Did you [verify the integrity](//help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM) of the disk image(s) used as source to create the installation medium? – David Foerster Jun 28 '16 at 11:12
  • Yes , i followed the instructions there, and the error occurred when i click start on the Rufus usb installer, it would load for a few seconds then a erro tab would open. And i dont know what verifying the integrity is? – Caleb Foote Jun 29 '16 at 08:46
  • Could you please verify the integrity of the installation medium according to the instructions linked in my previous comment? – David Foerster Jul 01 '16 at 08:26

You could try the Unetbootin route; see this post to create the USB image on the website rather than on your machine.
