extract the including dd.exe to any location (preferably
somewhere in
the command search-path) and should be able to just use
it (no
installation needed) in a command window.
For "of=..." you have to use the drive-letter of the USB
stick (e.g.
"of=f:").
I have had inconsistent results reported to me by users of
this (some
say it works, others not).
The problem may have been identified.

On the other hand, I've had nothing but good
reports about this tool, so that's what I always recommend:

I tried it. My 2nd try worked.
Investigating to see if initial failure was bug or "operator
error".
I've investigated. Although it probably works _exactly_ as
the programmer intended, who can know as there is *NO*
documentation in the downloaded zip file. The problem turned
out to be that I did not assume the "Read" and "Write"
labels on the buttons meant the same thing to the programmer
and myself. I assumed that for some reason one had to
explicitly read the source before explicitly writing to the
destination medium. (I've seen stranger ;). Having tried
again by pressing "Write" I obtained a bootable device.
However (probably due to the programmer making no mention
anywhere about using an *.iso file as input) examining the
device with Gparted under Squeeze show NO allocated space on
the device.
The closest thing I found to useable instructions were at
http://www.pendrivelinux.com/debian-live-flash-drive-install-from-windows/
. These also presume you are working from a *.img rather
than a *.iso file.
