[SOLVED] Preparing a USB key for Debian netboot from Windows

Hi, I am looking for information on how to prepare a USB key for Debian netboot from Windows.

I've already read a few guides which tell you to zcat a file directly onto /dev/sda (or whatever device the USB key is) which relies upon Linux.

However I am running Windows, and I presume that there is a nice Windows tool to do this.

The name of the "nice Windows tool" is UNetbootin, and you can get it here: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
