Many of us have netbooks and other PC's that don't have a DVD drive. Now that the Windows 8 Developer Preview is available, the question comes back just how to copy a .ISO file to a USB drive and make it bootable. The answer is still the same one as years ago: The Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool. This freebie will take a .iso file, copy it to a USB drive, and make it bootable.
And do use this for all your operating system installations to significantly cut down an OS rebuild. Even on slower machines you can cut the first part of a Windows reinstall by at least half installing from a USB drive.
