I wish I had an easy answer for you but I don't. I used the tool with a Kingston DataTraveler G3 16GB flash drive and it worked flawlessly. Can you provide us a step-by-step description of what you did and what messages you saw?

I haven't used it yet either for Windows 8. But you don't need to format the flash drive, the utility does that and will overwrite whatever is on the drive.

The message says it is unable to copy some of your files, but isn't specific about whether it is having trouble with the .iso or putting them on the flash drive. I will try it in a couple of hours to see if I can get it to work, but it looks like TerryE got it to work.

It should be noted, if you want to use the flash drive with a UEFI system, that tool will format it in NTFS, which will not work with UEFI.

Edit: Just a question, since I cannot tell. Are you running the tool from Windows 7 or Windows 8?

I ran it from Windows 7 myself. I didn't bother formatting the drive because the utility does that for you.

Make sure you have access to the ISO you're trying to copy. Obviously it cannot be on the flash drive you're trying to use.

I run from w7 64bit. The w8.iso file is into my downloads folder. I'v tried on another machine with xp sp3 with same rezult. The usb stick is ok since I can install linux from it. Also I managed to install w8 from dvd on my laptop but strange it simply dsnt work from the usb on my desktop.

I have never used the USB tool, instead I use the Command Prompt. Try these, it has always worked for me.

type - diskpart
type - list disk
type - select disk x (x=flash drive)
type - clean
type - create partition primary
type - format fs=(fat32,NTFS) quick
type - active
type - exit
