I think you use the Startup Disk Creator in an old version of Ubuntu (not 16.04 LTS).
Use another tool to copy/clone/flash/install from the iso file to the USB pendrive, for example mkusb according to this link, or mkusb-nox, if you are running in text mode, which is standard for linux servers.
See these links and links from them

Try Ubuntu (Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Xubuntu, ...) before installing it (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2230389)

OK, this is very strange I don't have any windows OS computers, all 6 computers have Ubuntu. I ordered a Citrix branded Supermicro PDSBM+2 from ebay my goal is trying to install Ubuntu 16.04 server 64bit. So I download windows 10 installed everything works than installed http://www.linuxliveusb.com/ down loaded ubuntu 16.04 server 64bit iso ran the program to boot from usb. I booted and I got gfxboot error but this time I got passed the menu to the install oh goodie but now my intel network ports could not see the network

If I understand correctly, your system works but you get stuck at the networking. Are you trying to connect via wired internet (ethernet)?
