How to create bootable flash drive in Linux?

Thread needs solution

Hello,

my sister has a True Image and full system backup. It seems like she can't boot now and rescue DVD doesn't work as well since DVD-ROM stopped working.

However, there is another low-power notebook in her possession, running Linux Mint (15). Given, I have .iso image and she has flash drive, is there a way to create bootable flash in Linux Mint? Unfortunately, she has no way to ask someone with Windows to install Acronis temporary for this purpose. Nor I can hand it over (to another continent).

I tried locally, neither Mint Flash utility, nor unetbootin, nor yumi produced bootable media. Is there a way to do it? Or sample config for Grub2 to do it this way: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/boot-multiple-iso-from-usb-via-grub2-using…

So I will ssh/VNC and make a flash drive

Thank you

Nevermind, easiest is chainload to grub4dos:

grub.cfg

. . .

menuentry "Windows & Acronis" {
linux /boot/grub.exe --config-file=/boot/win.lst
}
. . .

win.lst

. . .

title Acronis True Image
find --set-root /iso/AcronisResqueDisk.iso
map --mem /iso/AcronisResqueDisk.iso (0xff)
map --hook
root (0xff)
chainloader (0xff)
