Please get yourself Ultra ISO. You can download the evaluation copy from here:

UltraISO Premium - Free software downloads and software reviews - CNET Downloads

Open the iso image file using Ultra ISO. Goto Bootable ->Select "Write Disk Image" and select your USB drive from drop down. This will essentially treat your USB as a DVD drive and write the image to it.

Now goto your bios or force boot options at start up by pressing F8 or whatever the key for your motherboard is and select your pen drive to boot from.

There is a great tutorial that can be found at youtube here:

Making a bootable USB flash drive for Windows Vista and Windows 7 isn't all that tricky, but it's always nice to find an app that simplifies things. Not only does WinToFlash make the process about as easy as it can get, but it can also create Windows XP, Server 2003, and Server 2008 installers.

The default options make it easy to roll a silent Windows install, or you can flip the custom switch and specify the exact setup parameters you want to use.

The handy app also has one more trick up its sleeve: moving Windows Preinstall environments. PE discs can be extremely handy for troubleshooting and repairs, and being able to painlessly zap them over to a USB flash drive means not having to burn a new copy every time someone's haggard old optical drive decides to chew up your CD.

WinToFlash is a free download and is totally portable. It's an excellent tool to add to your USB-related utilities.
