Question: Trying to create a [Hiren's BootCD](http://www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd) on a USB. Not needing anything else such as a dual boot of Ubuntu and Haren or Window's and Haren. All the programs that I can find to complete this either end up directing me on how to create a Ubuntu boot on a usb, or how to do it on Windows. But since it is my Windows computer that I'm trying to fix I need an alternative. Please Help?

Answer: 
There is a easy way of installing Hiren's Boot CD 15.2 on Linux (Ubuntu, Linuxmint, etc.). 

Download the Universal USB Installer

and open in WINE. Choose Hirens Boot CD and everything is working like you would do it under Windows.
You can make a bootable USB on Ubuntu from any (bootable) .ISO image using `dd` command:

```
dd if=./someisofile.iso of=/dev/sdb

```

however, I'd like to warn you that `dd` is a very dangerous command and you should only proceed if you fully understand the meaning of its parameters, in particular, the `of` one. 

If you google for something like "dd iso usb", you'll fins quite a few tutorials, for example [this one from Fedora](http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_and_use_Live_USB#Using_dd_for_a_direct_copy), [this one from Linux Mint](http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/744), or [this one from ArchLinux](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/USB_Installation_Media)
