First thing to check is if you're ISO is good or not, to do so you need to check it's MD5 sum, you can use this application → http://www.winmd5.com/

Then, after getting the ISO md5sum check if it's equal to the md5sum listed in this link http://releases.ubuntu.com/vivid/MD5SUMS

If you have the same md5sum as the one in the website then try using UNETBOOTIN ( http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ ) to create the USB installer.

Otherwise download the ISO file again and make sure that you new ISO is good.
