It's possible you had a bad write to your installation media or for some other reason its contents could not be read correctly. If you're still having problems you should try re-writing the image to your media (and may be re-download the image as well).

Please let us know if that resolves your problem.

Hi,

Now I am getting this error: The current session is in BIOS-compatibility
mode. Please disable BIOS-compatibility/CSM/Legacy mode in your UEFI
firmware, and use this software from a live-CD or live-USB that is
compatible with UEFI booting mode. Then it directs me to this website:

Kindly help me it’s my first time to install Ubuntu
