Yeah your right you can see the file from the .img file cant you!

Once you are there, you can use Winrar to drag and drop the contents of the .iso onto your USB Key if you are having trouble with Isobuster

I Downloaded WinImage and opened the bootusb-x-x.img and when I tried to write it to my new 1Gig formatted USB drive I got the error from WinImage program below:

"The current image format is not supported by the disk drive" UPDATE! It appears I have an older version ov WinImage, I will have to try the latest one and post results then...

LATEST: After getting new WinImage it gave me the same error as above but this time it wrote it to the Flash drive. When I tried to boot it i got: Invalid or damaged bootable partition.
