Default How to burn image to the Flash drive

I've tried today - could not figure out how this PEtoUSB works. It asked me
about the path to the PE Installation (I have no idea what is this). I've
read the instructions - there is no word there about ISO images.

Thank you. I've checked PEtoUSB - not sure how it would work with ISO
images. Should I just extract the files from ISO image to the filder
and then use PEtoUSB to create a bootable flash drive?


No, PEtoUSB only works with ISO images. It only works as far as I know (to
make bootable anyway) for Windows v5 boot or higher. I don't believe
TrueCrypt uses the Windows v5 boot routine, but rather Linux or DOS based.
If this is true, you need to use a DOS or Linux utility to do this. They
too exists.

That is weird Peter. I thought for sure it grabbed it from an ISO. Oh
gosh! It *isn't* PEtoUSB, it's PE2USB that grabs an ISO image. Sorry
Peter.
