UNetbootin – Create bootable flash drives for almost anything.

UNetbootin is free software aimed at anyone looking to create USB-Bootable installs for Linux distributions.
“UNetbootin allows you to create bootable Live USB drives for Ubuntu, Fedora, and other Linux distributions without burning a CD. It runs on both Windows and Linux. You can either let UNetbootin download one of the many distributions supported out-of-the-box for you, or supply your own Linux .iso file if you’ve already downloaded one or your preferred distribution isn’t on the list.”
The wonderful thing about UNetbootin is the fact that this does not just work for linux distributions that I have found but it also works for any other boot-cd you might find. As long as you have an ISO of a disk that is supposed to boot on startup, it can make it so.
Therefore, you are not limited to just ISO’s of Fedora, Ubuntu, etc. I have created USB bootable flash drives with MultiBoot, Hirens, and others as well as Windows XP, Windows 7, etc. Why you need to do this? Want to install Windows XP on your netbook? Need to remove a windows password?
If you have already used it before, leave a comment about what you have done with it.
