    You should test these softwares before you do copy and paste reviews.

    Unebootin does not seem to work for XP bootable. Tried Fat and NTFS system.

    It works with windows 7,make sure you you format usb drive using NTFS, not tried vista yet.

    Also remember Uinebootin requires ISO file, while some of the others needs DVD exctracted files.

    LOL! Why Should Someone Use Any Software At All To Make A Windows7 Bootable Flash Drive / USB HDD? Just Make The Partition Active (Use Diskpart tool of windows) and Extract The Whole Windows7 ISO Into That Active Partition. Keep The Drive Plugged, Enter the BIOS and Select It As Your 1st Hard Disk if There is No Option To Boot From USB Drive, save and exit. After Restarting Windows 7 Setup Will Start To Load. I do this all the time as a hardware engineer. Never seen this method failed me. One more thing I should mention here; Installing Windows7 from a USB 2.0 Drive into a decent system takes almost 12 minutes in average. ENJOY….For Windows XP I Use WinToFlash, The Best Tool Around For This Job.
