Bad blocks: Check failed.

Your drive is defective. Use a different drive, as there is nothing Rufus can do about hardware issues like defective USB drives.

As long as the bad blocks check fail, the problem is with your hardware or environment.

The problem is that the flash drive worked fine until I used Rufus now, although I did and everything was fine. It can't be that the problem is with the flash drive.

It can't be that the problem is with the flash drive.

Why? USB flash drives are known to be a lot more unreliable than people think, and will fail as you use them.
If the bad blocks check reports an error, your drive is defective, and before you want to point at Rufus as the cause of your drive becoming defective, I suggest you read this.

I don’t think that the flash drive could have broken so abruptly due to Rufus; right now, with God’s help, I installed the volume, and moreover, I uploaded the files there. But every time I put an iso image on a flash drive, after 17 seconds it becomes dead, and Rufus gives an error. Magic?

[pbatard]

Same argument as "my appliance worked fine until it didn't". Hardware breaks. All the time. If it satisfies you to be able to point the finger at something else than bad luck, suit yourself. But you're not going to find much support when it's simply not possible for Rufus to damage hardware.

[LobnieYT]

If I'm not mistaken, you're implying that flash drives can break on their own, but Rufus doesn't break flash drives at all, right?

Flash drives can and do stop working on their own
I once had one start acting up, i managed to recover it, somehow, but it then became read only after i tried testing it by copying an ISO file in its entirity (not extracting it) to the USB

Yes. Extremely obvious information.
