I can't get Kubuntu 23.04 to open from a live USB pen drive

Question

After downloading the .iso file and chcked it with MD5, I used Rufus (Windows 10) to make the Live USB flash drive.

When booting from the USB flash drive I get the following message:

[ 0.118288] x86/cpu: SGX disabled by BIOS.

BusyBox v1.30.1 (Ubuntu1:1.30.1-7ubuntu3) built-in shell (ash)

Enter 'help' for a list os built-in commands.

(initramfs) mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on /filesystem.squashfs failed: Input/output error

Can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs) on /filesystem.squashfs

I also tried a USB flash drive made with LiLi (Windows 10) and I get the same message. And tried a second USB flash drive.

Is there any specific BIOS/UEFI configuration that I must check/set?

Squashfs IO errors imply you've had a bad write of ISO to your media, assuming the checksum of your downloaded ISO was correct as I understand you checked. Your installation media (which is a squashed file-system is corrupt) — guiverc, May 23 '23 at 07:41
Does this answer your question? Why do I see a message SQUASHFS ERROR:UNABLE TO READ DATA AND PAGE WHILE INSTALLING UBUNTU — guiverc, May 23 '23 at 07:42

Thanks folks!

I made another USB flash drive and it worked fine.

Seems that I have 2 kind of bad USB flash drives.

The Live version is running well.
