Hi,

I'm not expert for this kind of problem and it's hard to assist you. What i know about this error is that you can have few sources of problem and it's hard to fix it. Try to make your USB with :

http://www.linuxliveusb.com/  (I have tested this creator)

And check your BBox ISO MD5 hash. Maybe other users can propose you other solution, but i think you will only lose your time fixing problem after problem. Try first to make single boot USB and see if you have same issue.

Good luck.

omg, man this is not the way to ask on a forum...
Did you check the discussion above? To create a bootable usb stick on windows use LinuxLiveUSB, on a linux distro use unetbootin.
This is all i can say to a question like this.

Bye.

That option doesn't always work. I downloaded a perfectly good ISO from the Backbox website and created a live USB with UNetbootin, and it doesn't work. Checked the MD5, even checked the disk for errors. It's not ALWAYS user error, as you seem to be implying.

b0dhi_ ,
did you read his question?

I didn't say it was a user error, just that with such few (none) details, and in a gibberish english language, i just can't say anything.
That was the sense...

See you around... bye!

Had same Problem and here is how to fix it.

Install yumi and you will need a windows system.
When using yumi, it will take quit long time to copy the files so don't shut it down.

After installing , and if you have another linux system installed like ubuntu (as i have)
the grub entries will be missed up, so you will need to install grub-customizer to fix the names of the entries
As ubuntu now is the backbox and the ubuntu itself became ubuntu 14.04 lts .. etc

good luck :)
