The day Windows died
FYI, to get a bootable Windows USB key, you don't need any special tools or DD. Fresh format it with NTFS, and simply copy the contents of ISO onto it. Somehow it works pretty reliably.

Does anyone use NTFS that doesn't interface with Windows somewhere? Can't see why you would use it in a pure nix environment.
