Have you ever had to work on a FUBARed Netbook or computer that didn't have a CD or DVD drive? Installing windows on that machine can be a pain. Win To Flash solves all of those by porting your Windows installation disk over to a flash drive. It takes care of configuring the boot options and the issues surrounding Step one (simple gui format and file copying) and Step 2 (Installing and configuring the installation). Some have said that it complicates the windows installation because it takes a little extra foot work but that is better than not being able to install at all.

WinToFlash starts a wizard that will help pull over the contents of a windows installation CD or DVD and prep the USB drive to become a bootable replacement for the optical drive. It can alsowdo this with your LiveCD.
You don't have to worry about scratches on the disc or misplacing your original media discs once you transfer their contents to the flash drive. The optical drive is quickly becoming a thing of the past, especially in office environments, as media is shifted to the cloud.
