    I’ve another idea.. Download win to flash application !! Keep ur windows OS in ur system (not bootable)…. Jus plug ur pen drive … Install d w2f app, open it !! Application itself recognised d pen drive … Keep ur pendrive empty… Yu will b asked d directory of OS contains…. Jus click d folder (ex. Win7 OS) and click ok !! then continue…. It will automatically formats again… Then files r copied to pen drive also it ll b bootable !! Tats it, thank Yu !! Simply u need is download win to flash app (jus 3 mb). :)

    This is also a complex way to make boot-able,I have a trick that does’t require any software..

    1) Format your pen drive with it’s default allocation.
    2) Copy the contain of the ISO image or the files of windows 8.
    3) Simply paste that contain in your pen drive.

    After completion, just eject your pen drive and again install your pen drive in to your computer you can see your pen drive’s logo has changed….

    In this manner you can make boot able Pen drive……
