Burning ISO to a USB?

So I'm currently at Dad's work and one of the computers are fucked, I know there's a program that lets you 'burn' ISO's to a USB, so I can do another install of Windows, but I'm just wondering if the USB will be useable after I've burnt it? Maybe a stupid question but hey ho, thanks.

It will be usable, just format the USB after.
Personally I like YUMI : http://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multib...b-creator/
It never fails and is really efficient.

For interest's sake, if you are looking for a simpler program, you can use WiNToBootic. Just drag and drop.

Looks like a bad link. The website was blocked by Malwarebytes and doing a bit of research it seems malwarebytes has confirmed it's not a false positive. Also found this: http://www.herdprotect.com/wintobootic.e...6a6b0.aspx
Just format the USB, and you'll be fine.
My friend burned a WinXP ISO onto his drive using PowerISO, but he fucked up and installed a Spanish version. He tried changing the language, but that didn't work.
Don't mess up like he did, OP.

He fucked up by downloading a torrented copy of Windows XP right away.
There's no official Windows XP .iso on the web.

Newer Web Shield of premium version of Malwarebytes' Anti-malware has too many false positives due to the nature of their heuristics.

Thanks. And it sucks MBAM has false positives these days -_-

MBAM being an anti-malware uses different heuristics to target malwares unlike anti-virus and it is necessary should you visit too many shady sites. If my research is correct, the IP was exploited before and maybe was blacklisted then. The tool itself is clean as I have used it many times while assisting un-bootable OPs or installing OS in my machine if DVDs are unavailable. 🙂

I was about to say the same thing! It's free, cross platform and open source, you can find it here.

UNetBootin actually have issues with Windows 7 .iso for some reason. Better off using YUMI, Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool, etc.

Yeah I prefer using the AIK for windows. Works perfectly with every linux distro there is though!
