We've all come across reasons why we need to install windows from a USB Drive such as having a Netbook with no external disk drives, or having no CD/DVDs to burn your .iso image to, so here's a quick tutorial on how to install windows without it.
Open the Windows image (.iso) file in your Virtual Drive and Mount it. [Or Alternatively, if you have a disk pop it in to your disk drive.]
If you've downloaded WinToFlash, you'll realise that it's in a .zip format, so you'll have to extract it using a program like WinRAR or 7zip. (scroll down for links).
Now you'll get a folder. Open the folder and run WinToFlash(.exe).
Click on the tick, and a wizard will start, Click on Next.
For "Windows Files Path" select your VD. (or if you have a disk, select your disk drive).
For USB Drive select your flash drive.
Now just click on next, and let the program do it's job.
After you're done insert the USB to a computer that you want to install windows on, and boot with the USB.
