ISO Image Extraction Failure Rufus

I'm trying to install Ubuntu 16.04 from a USB drive. I'm using Rufus to create a bootable stick, but everytime I click start, it starts, and then gives the error ISO image extraction failure. What can I do?

Rufus has a good reputation. Which version of Windows are you running? Did you check that your iso file is good.? - You can use md5summer in Windows to check it. An alternative, that works to install Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS (you should use the first point release with .1 in the file name) from all Windows versions including XP is Win32 Disk Imager, wiki.ubuntu.com/Win32DiskImager/iso2usb

Rufus should work for you in Windows 10. Did you check the iso file?

@sudodus I downloaded the ISO from the Ubuntu website but it still doesn't work. What's going on?

It's either a corrupt download or the file gets corrupted when saved (faulty drive) or is somewhere Rufus can't read correctly from or an antivirus: github.com/pbatard/rufus/issues/289

What can I do?

Check the MD5 of your ISO which too few people know you can ACTUALLY do using Rufus! Just click on the # button at the bottom of the Rufus interface after selecting your ISO. There is no need to use another tool.

Run a bad blocks check in Rufus, to make sure that the issue isn't with your flash drive.

Report that issue in the official issue tracker for Rufus, along with your full log from Rufus, as this is the best place to get help with Rufus issues.

Indeed, you need to check that the MD5 reported by Rufus matches the official MD5 of your ISO as provided by Ubuntu here. All Rufus (or any other MD5 generation tool) does is compute the checksum. It's up to you to confirm whether it matches.

for me the case was that I deleted the rufus_files folder rufus created when it's ran for the very first time. Actually, I keep a different folder for softwares, so i only copied .exe after i did my first iso extraction with rufus and deleted the folder (rufus_files).

so, just reinstall rufus and keep the folder.

peace
