Hi Clif,
There are several tools that will allow this:
WintoFlash - http://wintoflash.com/home/en/
Microsoft Windows 7 USB tool - http://store.microsoft.com/Help/ISO-Tool
The HP tool - http://blogs.oreilly.com/digitalmedia/2 ... -driv.html
The problem is I was trying to build on the previous article, which changed the read bit on the ie.cfg file to NO. I tried all the tools and the results were haphazard at best. Some worked, but didn't acknowledge the read bit, others worked but didn't always produce a bootable drive 100% of the time. In the end I thought doing it the "old fashioned" way would provide the best results and give the users a little command prompt experience. At the very least they would appreciate that (for the most part) use of the command prompt isn't as necessary as it once was!
XP won't allow you to format a USB drive as NTFS by default. You can force it to do so, though.
Here is how to format USB drive with NTFS.

Hi Guys,
Be careful if you use the Microsoft tool to create a bootable Windows USB flash drive, because when you run the soft, it asks you to point to an ISO file.
If the ISO file is not UDF but Joliet, then the soft does not want to continue.
I experienced this yesterday.
Bye
