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...


I don't think a semi will give the same results

What ISO is it? If it's Linux then use PenDrive Linux's universal USB installer

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.
Passat B5.5 2.3 V5 170, with all the extras.

Want some online storage? Click here to sign up for a Dropbox account.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
