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: 
Unetbootin does the job of making a bootable USB, but for recent versions of Hiren's CD to work, [a small fix](https://www.raymond.cc/blog/how-to-put-hirens-bootcd-on-flash-memory/) must be made for the menu to work:

* Open the Software Center and install [UNetbootin ![](https://hostmar.co/software-small)](https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/unetbootin/).
* Create the bootable USB using the `Diskimage` option and selecting the downloaded ISO.
* After the USB is created, mount it in Nautilus (just click the USB drive icon), go into the `HBCD` folder, *rename the `isolinux.cfg` file to `syslinux.cfg`* and *copy it to the root of the USB*, overwriting the existing file. Change the first line of `syslinux.cfg` from `DEFAULT /HBCD/Boot/menu.c32` to `DEFAULT menu.c32`.

Now the USB boots and menu works fine :)
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)
