Creating a Windows Installer on USB Drive

I have an ISO file for windows 8.  Just realized I don't have DVD.  Turns out.  I don't need one.  Microsoft provides a tool that takes the contents of the iso file and creates and copies then to a USB device that can be used to install Windows.  Be warned, it formats the USB device.  That means anything on that device is lost.

Don't worry that the tool has Windows 7 in the name.  It works for Windows 8 too.
