I bought an OEM dvd of Windows 8, got home and remembered i had no plans of fitting an optical drive!

Went onto the Microsoft site but i only seem to be able to download an upgrade ISO and not a full copy.

Found the following site which gave a tutorial

http://pcsupport.about.com/od/windows-8/a/install-windows-8-usb.htm

I followed it to the point of creating an ISO of my Windows dvd using a software called Burnaware. Its created the ISO but when i try to burn it to my USB drive using the Windows ISO burner program it tells me that its not a valid ISO.

Anyone have any ideas i could try other than going out to buy a USB dvd drive?
 
Apologies if it wasnt clear. I used the other software to create an ISO from my windows dvd and then used to Windows software to try to burn the ISO
