In this example, the fix is to remove the empty spaces from the file name.

  • Try renaming the 'Blancco 5 server .iso' to 'Blancco_5_server.iso'
  • Format and create the bootable USB again using the latest version of Blancco USB Creator tool

  • Make sure format option is enabled when creating the bootable USB.
  • Make sure ISO image file is not corrupted by downloading it again or testing it by booting from a CD or Virtual Machine for example.
