Hello, this just means that the data read from the drive after flash is not exactly the same as the one in the image.

This can have 2 meanings:

  • the flash drive has broken sectors that do not write what they are asked to;
  • something writes data on the drive in the moment between Etcher finishes writing and the moment Etcher finishes verifying.

As this image contains a fat32 partition (the second one) and you’re using Windows, it may be Windows creating a System Volume Information folder on that partition.
If that’s the case, you can use the drive normally, it should boot fine.

Check https://superuser.com/questions/1199823/how-to-prevent-creation-of-system-volume-information-folder-in-windows-10-for for ways of preventing Windows from doing that.
