Have you tested the USB stick you have is healthy?
Have you checked the health of your internal drive (There are tools on the Ultimate Boot CD which can test this for you).

Replying to the automatic email and attaching a file doesn't work. You need to use imagemagick or similar to make a URL of the image.

Looks like a bad disk. I had this and replaced the drive. Issue went away.

You can verify this with the HDD tools on the Ultimate Boot CD (free to download).

Ultimate Boot CD and burn to CD, or transfer to USB. There are drive tools on there.
