I need to make a boot USB of Partition Wizard 4.2 which is free so I can convert my Windows partition to basic so I can boot it again. Tried using Unetbootin on the PW ISO and only gave me the Unetbootin bootloader with a single default selection that just looped the same menu. Anything I can use like Win2Flash So I can make a bootable USB with the cd only ISO?

Maybe this method (http://crunchbanglinux.org/wiki/statler_usb_installation)would work, although I have only tried it with a Crunchbang ISO. It basically turns the USB into a finalized virtual cd, so you won't be able to use the drive for anything else without reformatting. Have you already looked at using gparted?

Edit: Hopefully no double posts show up. I had a really hard time replying to this post. :(

Edit: This is the worst I have seen the forum acting up yet. :(

Yes but Gparted only formats the drive. I need to keep my partition undamaged because I physically lost my key :(

edit: agreed it is acting up.
