The iso works fine for me and millions of other users, so I see three possibilities:
1) The usb stick is damaged
2) The usb stick is corrupt, either due to the way it was written or a bad download
3) This particular computer has a something different about it that causes the problem
If you can successfully perform the check in another computer, that would point to #3, if not, it points to #1 or #2. You mentioned that you ran a chkdsk with windows, did you enable the scan for bad sectors option, or just a standard chkdsk? Can you verify the md5um of the iso?
Please calm down.
