  1. Have a .iso image of your Windows CD/Recovery Disk in your computer directory.
  2. Your PC must be able to boot from USB drives. Most newer PCs are capable of this.
  3. Download Unetbootin for windows from unetbootin.sourceforge.net
  4. For Ubuntu, enable 3rd party and community softwares in your "Software Sources" and command "sudo apt-get install unetbootin" in a terminal. Or, find "Unetbootin" from Ubuntu software centre and install it.
  5. Plug in your Usb/Mp3 drive which is USB 2.0+ and at least 4GB in size.
  6. In Unetbootin, choose the "Diskimage" option and select your .iso image by browsing through the directories.
  7. Select type "USB Drive" and choose the drive you just plugged in
  8. Click OK
  9. The image will be extracted and Unetbootin will prepare your USB Drive as a bootable device.
  10. When prompted by unetbootin, reboot your PC and press F12 during your PC's BIOS menu.
  11. Now Windows will boot and you will find the installation steps.
  12. G'Luck!
