I had a similar situation, and in your case unetbootin didn't work. What I finally did was just use dd. Although, I did it from a Linux machine, not from Windows. But dd is available for Windows. I needed to install Wheezy-LXDE (32-bit) on a Eeepc 900. So, no CD drive. From another Linux machine onto which I had already downloaded the ISO, I just dd if=<path-to-ISO> of=<flashdrive device name> (that would be something like /dev/sdb, no partition number. Make sure the flash drive is unmounted. That was all I did, and the flash drive booted right up and the install went normally.
