Causes of error
The above error occurs for several reasons directly related to the drives used and computer components. Pulling methods are unique to each individual case.Cause 1: Media damage
The most relevant cause of the error under consideration is to use the damaged media of the information. Due to unsuccessful attempts to read data from an optical disk or flash drive and such a message occurs. If possible, check the operation of the disk on another computer.
When installing from a flash drive, a similar error does not occur in most cases. That is why a fully acceptable solution will use a USB drive instead of a disk.

Cause 3: Incompatible USB Port
To date, the overwhelming majority of computers and flash drives have a USB 3.0 interface, not supported by older versions of operating systems. Therefore, the only solution is to use USB port 2.0.
Alternatively can be resorted to the addition of special drivers on the flash drive, which in most cases relates to laptops. They download from the official website of the manufacturer of the motherboard or laptop.
Note: Sometimes the desired driver set is included in another software, for example, CHIPSET DRIVERS.
If you have some skills in your computer, you can integrate the desired drivers to the original image of the operating system. This often helps in solving the problem, but the topic deserves a separate article. You can seek advice to us in the comments.
