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: 
get hiren's Iso into your HDD. insert your USB pendrive or whatever, download rufus <http://rufus.akeo.ie/> and proceed with burning the hiren.ISO file into the USB.
once you succeeded, you need to restart your pc and check that your BIOS is configured in such a way that your boot order has your harddrive as the last thing to boot from.
Also make sure, that as you reboot your pc again, and you have your USB burned and plugged, you dont have anything else that your pc might boot from.
Hope it helps (btw, i just did this 30 minutes ago...) Cheers!
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)
