How do I go about creating a boot disk, or any other type of disk that will allow me to get command prompt access, on Ubuntu for a Windows laptop?

It has to be USB, as the second laptop contains no CD drive. But I cant seem to figure out anywhere what it takes to create a bootable USB from Ubuntu that will work in a Windows environment (NTFS).

I found a way to fix this!

Since Windows requires an NTFS bootable USB, it has to be created as such.

I installed http://gparted.org/ and formatted the USB as NTFS, and subsequently set a flag within Gparted to "boot", so that it can be treated as the boot drive.

After the USB is formatted, any ISO content can be moved to it.
