Thank you for the instructions Jason Burns, but you did say: "don’t fret, you can do it on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Mac OS X with no problem." Of course there is a problem - You failed to tell us how to accomplish this on OSX (something many people no doubt have stumbled across this page in search of). So, here goes: 1. Open diskutility, format your usb drive as freespace 2. Open terminal and type: sudo -s 3. Enter your password. 4. Enter: diskutil list 5. Look through the list and identify your usb stick (For example mine is /dev/disk3) 6. Use dd if=/location_of/image.iso of=/dev/disk3 to restore a bootable image to the usb drive I typed: dd if=/Users/jack/Documents/windows7.iso of=/dev/disk3 I wanted to restore a windows7 image to usb so I can boot my osx86 netbook and install as a second operating system... Worked fine - Hope this helps someone! ‘Guest’ You are the idiot!

The new versions of KDE & Gnome are fantastic & I now use linux for main usage of browsing, email etc Would love to have more serious apps for linux so I can ditch Apple & MS who dont need more money to put in the bank from us.

I bought (on line) four of the ones that Guitar Center sells. The hangers weren't too awful, but the mounting hardware was trash. These things cost $16.00 per, and I need six more! I'm going your way. Thanx a bunch. Excellent! I bought (on line) four of the ones that Guitar Center sells. The hangers weren’t too awful, but the mounting hardware was trash.
