Option 1: Open the ISO file with WinZip.
Extract all files from the ISO to the destination media.
Include hidden files!
Option 2: Mount the ISO File.
Copy the contents of the mounted/opened .iso to the USB stick.
There are hidden files so you need to configure Windows Explorer to show hidden and system files
the "E:\" drive is where the ISO files are, the "F:\" drive is the thumb drive - YMMV
use xcopy: xcopy E:\*.* /s /e /f /h F:\
