You have to install a software for this purpose known as winUsb using following commands

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:colingille/freshlight sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install winusb

else download a .deb file from this link and then run following command

sudo dpkg -i [filename].deb if you get any dependency problem or errors due to dependency problems use following command to resolve it

sudo apt-get install -f

check this for more info on .deb packages

you can check this link

for more details on installation and winusb check this website
