Also, Bootice provides a quick way to cure pendrive woes:

(At least, it's what YUMI devs recommend...)

This program is an epic failure. It failed to write the image to the disk, and it permanently corrupted my drive which now thinks it is a 1gb drive

I have been trying to find an utility to "burn" (write) an ISO file to the second (hidden) partition on a multi-partition USB in Windows (something easily done in Linux -- see http://rudd-o.com/linux-and-free-software/a-better-way-to-create-a-customized-ubuntu-live-usb-drive ! WARNING: due to the move from GRUB legacy to GRUB2, that recipe isn't fully working anymore...).
Like with other similar apps, trying to use Win32DiskImager to this effect will kill the partition table, making a reformat mandatory...

Released v0.7 yesterday. I'm moving the project over to http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager so get it there.
Lots of new fixes with this release.

v0.6 changelog: "Not much to this release, other than a few minor fixes and a missing header in the source zip file (it was in the bzr tree though). Consider it an amended tax return without the auditors. :P".
Also, should anyone bump into what Ginger referred in 2., check for solutions @ http://answers.launchpad.net/win32-image-writer/+question/74814

An excellent tool but two points:
1 It writes to USB menory sticks; But 'USB' not in title or Category (even readme states '...can not write CD-ROMs'??) so hard to find.
2 On its webpage; Several report it tricky to return USB to full capacity afterwards. It can be done but good to know up front
It's not Stealth 'cause It writes to registry:
