[plug] help needed

Regarding installing from USB....
These days if you are setting up a USB stick to install debian from and 
you have a linux system available to do the task all that is needed is to
/    cp debian.iso /dev/sdXX/
so if your USB stick is coming up as /dev/sdb just run
/    cp debian.iso /dev/sdb/

I can't remember the recommended windows tool, but the debian 
installation guide will point you in the right direction.
You no longer need to use special tools that manipulate ISO's to install 
from USB.
All debian, and most derivatives use hybrid ISO's that can be booted 
from cd/dvd/usb/hdd directly.
