The freeware tool ISO2USB for CentOS/RedHat which is a simple, easy to use utility designed to create bootable USB drive from RedHat installation disk or corresponding ISO image. It will support Windows XP and the source code of ISO2USB is based on a cross-platform Qt4 library so it can be easily ported to other operating systems.

UNetbootin is the another utility to create the USB boot device for REDHAT Linux iso image. It allows you to create bootable Live USB drives for a variety of Linux distributions from Windows without requiring you to burn a CD. You need a broadband internet connection to download the distribution's .iso file.

I am using UNetbootin for create Redhat bootable file for USB. It works as downloads and extracts an ISO file to your USB drive and generates an appropriate syslinux config file and makes USB drive bootable using syslinux. First it will install all the distribution file to windows and need to restart the System for boot yo Linux Radhat.
