I've had experiences with unetbootin, and had been a matter  of luck, I've
had times when it worked, and other times when it didn't worked at
all,overall I advise not to use it. If you don't have access to a Unix
machine (and thus can't use dd), you can try yumi (though Lucas solution
should work).
