   try this (not sure if it works with windows iso):
   dd if=PATH-TO-WIN.iso of=/dev/sda bs=4M

   before that make sure if /dev/sda/ is the correct path to usb flash drive:
   # fdisk -l

   Okay.. i've tried: dd if=/home/tux/windows/Windows 7 Ultimate.iso of=/media/disk bs=4
   M
   Didn't work... the console displays te following:
   Command line: dd if 7 Ultimate.iso of=/media/disk bs=4M

   BusyBox v1.18.4 (2012-03-14 03:32:25 CET) multi-call binary.

   Usage: dd [if=FILE] [of=FILE] [ibs=N] [obs=N] [bs=N] [count=N] [skip=N]
   [seek=N] [conv=notrunc|noerror|sync|fsync]

   Copy a file with converting and formatting

   Options:
   if=FILE Read from FILE instead of stdin
   of=FILE Write to FILE instead of stdout
   bs=N Read and write N bytes at a time
   ibs=N Read N bytes at a time
   obs=N Write N bytes at a time
   count=N Copy only N input blocks
   skip=N Skip N input blocks
   seek=N Skip N output blocks
   conv=notrunc Don't truncate output file
   conv=noerror Continue after read errors
   conv=sync Pad blocks with zeros
   conv=fsync Physically write data out before finishing

   Numbers may be suffixed by c (x1), w (x2), b (x512), kD (x1000), k (x1024),
   MD (x1000000), M (x1048576), GD (x1000000000) or G (x1073741824)

   Okay, I don't know what's the problem.
   mkdir /mnt/iso -done
   mount w7 /mnt/iso -o loop -here comes the problem...
   Output: mount: mounting w7 on /mnt/iso failed: No such file or directory
   My iso is named w7, why it does not work?

   mount /media/disk /mnt/usb -t ntfs-3
   mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/usb -t ntfs-3g

   Output for both:
   mount: mounting /media/disk on /mnt/usb failed: No such device

   Devices are mounted to a folder which is called the mount point.
   Unless it's a loop mounted iso or filesystem.
   Use fdisk -l as root to see the devices on your system.
   After you determine which device is the flash drive mount it to /media/flash
   mount will output what devices are mounted where.
   If your usb flash drive which you statedm is /dev/sdc1 is already mounted on /media/flash
   then skip the mount command and cp the files to /media/flash
   cp -a /mnt/iso/* /media/disk

   I think that the problem has come from the spaces
   in the name of the file iso

    As yves04 says, the problem is the spaces, 2 ways around that are

    [code]dd if=/home/tux/windows/Windows\ 7\ Ultimate.iso of=/media/disk bs=4[/code]

    or, this may be easier to understand,

    [code]dd if=/home/tux/windows/Windows?7?Ultimate.iso of=/media/disk bs=4[/code]

    I have doubts about this thread.
    I am a Windows 10 user and create a bootable USB ,But the burn program failed.
    Part of the reason, I admit, is that I'm not proficient in computer operations, but the overwhelming majority of the reasons are that Windows 7/Windows 8 doesn't work for Windows 10.(Windows 10 A 64-bit )
    Any methods ,
