Answer 1

UNetbootin should work: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/

Or you could try a bit-by-bit copy:

1. Insert the USB device and then open Disk Utility (in 10.10 and older, System -> Administration -> Disk Utility).
2. Select the USB device from the list in the left of the program and detect where it was mounted: /dev/sd[1 letter]. For example, /dev/sdc.
3. Make sure the USB device is unmounted (not safely removed, but unmounted)

4. Assuming the .iso file is in your home folder, open the terminal and write:

   sudo dd bs=4M if=[ur .iso] of=/dev/sd[that 1 letter]
   

   Example:

   sudo dd bs=4M if=windows7.iso of=/dev/sdc
   

And wait for it to finish. (The "bs=4M" - bit is optional, just makes it faster.)

I only had 1 live CD from Ubuntu 9.10. So i used this procedure:

1. Insert the USB device, then open GParted.
2. Select the USB device from the list near the upper-right corner of the GParted window and detect where it was mounted: /dev/sd[1 letter]. Mine was /dev/sdc.
3. Make sure the USB device is unmounted (right-click and select unmount). Don't forget to format it to NTFS.

4. Open a Terminal window and navigate to your windows7.iso or iso file you want to use. I used this line:

   First i went to the filesystem /. Then I went to media because I had a hard drive: cd media. Then I selected my harddrive with cd Hard*. And i ran the last step ↓

5. The last step is to write this line:

   sudo dd if=[UR .ISO] of=/dev/sd[THAT 1 LETTER]
   

   In my case: sudo dd if=windows7.iso of=/dev/sdc

I hope it will work for you.

There's a tool called Multisystem which can make a USB drive bootable, and boot various OSes from it - amongst others, Windows XP, Vista and Seven are supported (the program's pages are in French only; the program itself is localized). I was able to boot the WinXP install ISO off a USB flash disk using this tool.

Note that the Windows CD is an install CD, not a usable "live" distribution.

Answer 6

Ubuntu can mount .iso files from nautilus in Natty.

Have you tried copying the contents of the .iso to the desired USB drive?

From there you should be able to tell your PC to boot from the USB with no problems.

If that Fails to work you can use UNetBootin in order to copy/burn the .iso to disk.

This blog post Describes how to do that.
