I'm attempting to dual boot windows 8.1 and ubuntu but I can't quite seem to create a USB boot drive without errors.
Twice now I have downloaded ubuntu-14.04-desktop-amd64 from the official website, twice have the file's checksums been cross-referenced by winmd5sum with the md5 hash here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes, twice have I created a USB boot drive with Universal-USB-Installer-1.9.5.4, and twice have I checked for defects with the result being "Check finished: errors found in 2 files!"
What's going wrong?
