Post by: R32UK on 03 October 2011, 18:45

Which is a good (preferably free) one I could down load??? nice and simple would be better

Because he may have a netbook which needs an OS loading onto it...

What ISO is it? If it's Linux then use PenDrive Linux's universal USB installer
http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/

If it's Windows, it would depend on what version of Windows, however I've had some success with WinToFlash http://wintoflash.com/home/en/ it cuts out the command line utilities you can use with Windows 7.

If it's a data ISO then use WinRAR to extract it to USB.
