You can also use other softwares like UNetbootin, Universal USB Installer and a few other softwares to write your image(.iso) file to a pendrive. We prefer LiLi as we find it quite simple and attractive. You can find a list of other software which can write image file to USB drive here at alternativeto.net/software/lili-usb-creator.
