Not sure if this is the program to do this, but I'm trying anyway:

I've downloaded several bootable ISOs and I want to extract the entire contents of one of them to my 1GB USB flash drive. Problem is, when I extract the data, my computers can't boot from it. I don't believe this to be a problem with the computers as they are capable of booting from USB and are recognizing the device. My guess is that the boot information is not being extracted correctly from the ISO to the USB drive. Any suggestions are appreciated.

As filesystem used by a 'USB flash drive' is quite different from a bootable CD, making a bootable USB flash from a bootable CD is not possible.
