Comment 54 for bug 1325801

I checked that the current 'utopic-desktop-i386.iso' works when flashed to USB with mkusb., which it should according to comment #49 by elfy - dd works.

-o-

What about the alternatives from Windows? If there are problems with Unetbootin, I would guess that

http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/

will work (because it copies/flashes/clones the iso file in the same way as dd in linux).
