boot - USB burnt 17.10 iso from Startup Disk Creator corrupted


I have tried many methods in the internet and every time I get a corrupted "burnt" USB image from the official "ubuntu-17.10-desktop-amd64.iso" file.
The image either gets burned with 2048 bytes block size, instead of 512, or gets burned correctly (with 7_zip) but won't boot.


Even the official "Startup Disk Creator" won't do the job right.


I believe there is something wrong with the official file.
PS: the SHA256SUM has been checked



Thanks to sudodus to point out that gparted does not play well with cloned USB boot drive.


Actually my problem was that the first method I used to burn the image on the USB stick didn't work because it would not boot. Then I used gparted to check if the partition was really bootable. With no luck after other methods, I found out about the Startup Disk Creator and while checking the image with gparted before trying to boot I thought the image was corrupted.
