The USB drive is working great, and contains the following: Linux Mint 13 ; Linux Mint Debian ; Debian 6 ; Ubuntu 12.04.1 ; Fedora 17 ; A bit of a mix of DVD and Live versions. I have a spindle of DVD+R DL blank DVD's. I would like to create a bootable .iso from this USB drive so I can burn multiple copies of it to pass around to friends!

Find your .iso and right-click to mount it as a virtual drive (we'll use V:\) XCOPY V:\*.* /s /e /f U:\ - Again it will take approx 10 minutes; EXIT - Once the copying has finished .. this will EXIT the CMD prompt window; The USB key is now bootable. USB Harddrive. insert the USB key
Here is the solution that worked for me, tested on a Windows laptop with UEFI and a 64GB USB flash drive. Step 1: Download DBAN (Darik's Boot and Nuke)'s ISO file from SourceForge. Step 2: Download Universal USB Installer from Pendrivelinux.com. Step 3: Run Command Prompt as administrator. You may be able to do the same thing with Disk Management.
Navigate to the extracted iso folder & Replace install.wim with install.swm files. Format the pen drive with FAT32. Drag & drop the Iso extracted folder ( in which we have replaced install.wim with install.swm files), to the pen drive & let it finish. It's done! (This way the pen drive will be bootable into both UEFI & MBR)
I had this issue when trying to create a bootable Windows 7 USB stick for an older laptop (Thinkpad T410). Even with this warning, it still should boot as far as I understand, but the reason it didn't for me was because I had an older BIOS, so what I ended up doing was using the Rufus USB tool with the following settings:
Under Bootable Disc in the Advanced tab, check the Make Image Bootable option and set Emulation Type to 2.88 MB. Under Boot Image, browse to the DOS boot disk you modified earlier. Select the Build button to create the image. Once done building, ImgBurn will output both the image file and an .mds file.
I totally agree with you, downloading ISO from Microsoft and using a USB drive is a nice idea. And USB works really quickly as compared to DVDs. But what if the user wants to create bootable iso for Windows 7. In that case, you cannot download the iso from the Microsoft official website without the genuine product key.
A bootable ISO is created, but, on its own, cannot be used to boot from - it first must be written to a storage device (USB / HDD) or VHD. The Windows installer ISO is WinPE (Windows Preinstallation Environment) with a few extra WinPE OCs (Optional Components) installed into the WinPE filesystem for the installer executable and support files.
4) Here it is explained how to generate a bootable .iso file with a syslinux bootloader. They don't even use isohybrid. They don't even use isohybrid. Unfortunately that didn't help me (maybe because of syslinux).
