- Format your 8gb or larger media as ntfs.
- Mount your freshly formatted usb disk
- Get unetbootin-linux-494 binary from source forge http://sourceforge.net/projects/unetbootin/files/UNetbootin/494/
- Chmod +x unetbootin-linux-494
- As root run ./unetbootin-linux-494
- Select disk image, then locate windows ISO. Select show all drives, then navigate to your usb devices ntfs partition.
- Select ok, have a cup of hot coco as this will take some time. exit rather than reboot. Unmount, and remove flash drive.
