[Bug 1516275] [NEW] usb created from bootable windows .iso is not bootable and broken

[teo1978]

Public bug reported:

I have a .iso image of the Windows 7 (64bit ita) bootanle installation DVD.
I have succesfully booted from the .iso image on a virtual machine, so the .iso image is fine.

I have used Startup Disk Creator (i.e. usb-creator) to create a bootable USB drive from that .iso image, but the result is a USB drive which:
- is not bootable. It fails to boot on both computers where I tried (both with the bios correctly set up to boot from USB if available)
- is not even readable on windows: I plugged it into a Windows (physical) machine, and when I try to open it, it says the filesystem is not valid.

The usb drive is readable on Ubuntu.
