My DVD Rom is dying and need to transfer to a USB stick -
I know its possible but could someone break down the steps to making a bootable usb device

Tech Republic explains how to do it using the MS tool for Win 7: http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/wi...dows-8-iso-to-a-bootable-usb-flash-drive/6672

By far the easiest; I've done it like 100 times, download the software ~1MB, open, select an ISO, wait 5 minutes. Done dusted, boot via USB.

This: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ works for many distros. I don't think it worked for Windows 8, hence the need for me to use MS's tool.
