Why is it possible to burn an ISO file to a CD or DVD but not to a USB drive? Well, actually you can! I recently found software that will mount the ISO and copy the files to the USB drive and also makes the USB drive bootable. Now instead of having to burn CDs you’ll never use again you can just go and get a 1GB flash drive and you can use it again and again without degrading the drive unlike a rewritable CD or DVD. The software is called unetbootin. The software comes pre-configured to automatically find about 50 different bootable types of software including operating systems, live anti virus CDs, hard drive management, etc… It does require internet access to download the software first and then it burns to the flash drive. The only con about the software is that it takes a long time compared to burning a CD or DVD.
