Word of advice ? Use a linux system to do all this sort of work with. Can't afford more hardware ? Use a virtual machine . . . That hp, or whatever image writer app is ancient, going back before XP even I think. Anyway, with a Linux machine, this could be done with std command line tools. Namely, dd.
BTW, Im responding from an Windows 8.1 x64 system . . . which is what I run on my latest "desktop". Just so you know I'm not trying to be biased again Windows.
