Dell offers a similar utilty but it is harder to find as the download link seems to move around. You can also do it manually with Bart's MKBT, Make Bootable utility found on his excellent site. Do not be suprised if it does not work on every stick. I have had about a 25% failure rate but most of them were older 128M sticks. USB Floppy Disk Drive RAID

Thanks. This is pretty, cool, I'll have to try this the next time I get a thumb drive.

Would it be possible to install Ubuntu onto a PC with this? Like you first format the thumb drive, then copy everything from the Ubuntu CD/.iso to the thumb drive. EDIT: Would installing Windows XP from this work too?

ubuntu - UNetbootin - The Universal Netboot Installer source - Episode114 - PaulDotCom Security Weekly windows - I think not as the XP installer has no USB support.

Great, thanks! Now it would be easier to troubleshoot my computer if I can't boot into Windows..
