Few days earlier i got my window crashed and it started showing Boot MGR Missing. I needed a bootable window dvd. But acting as an add on to my unfortunate, DVD ROM also got ill. :P
That's why the only option was to make usb bootable. But i found so many tutorials regarding making bootable usb from windows only. From linux i found almost nothing. Then i found a useful tutorial. Here is it:-
Install ms-sys, if it is not in your repositories, get it here. and follow instruction there for installing.
Follow the following instruction:-
Create an NTFS filesystem:
Mount ISO and USB media:
Copy over all files:
Write Windows 7 MBR on the USB stick:
...and you're done.
