How can i create a windows 7 bootable usb to boot on mac?

I'm having some issues creating a bootable usb on Mavricks 10.9. I've used bootcamp with a windows 7 iso that i downloaded from here Windows 7 Direct Download Links, Official Disk Images from Digital River. Bootcamp does the whole process, but will not actually read the usb pen drive as bootable.
I read this think on the forums about uefi booting http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/15458-uefi-bootable-usb-flash-drive-create-windows.html but for some reason i still can't seem to get the thing to recognize windows 7 as bootable in any way.
I was able to install windows 8, but i was not able to get sound to work even with the drivers that were supplied on the apple forums, i'm really hoping someone can help, because i Really don't like mac os, i've been using windows from the beginning. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advanced.

Edit: i forgot to mention i do have access to a virtual machine to also create a bootable disk, i tried the rufus tool and it didn't work either. not sure if i had the settings all correct, :(

I use VMWare Fusion to run Win 8 and Win 7 in a VM that way I can run both at the same time on two monitors. If you don't want to pay for Fusion then you could use Virtual Box (freeware).
