Steffen,
Thank you for the info. I think you just pointed out the issue with the program 
I mentioned I had. It writes .img files and I wasn't thinking about those being 
in a different format from a .iso file. I'm sure there are converters available 
so this may be another viable resource for someone. I may even look into it and 
do a follow-up post later if someone doesn't feel the desire first.

Again, thank you.

- Greg

Hello Gregory, 

I'm using a small program called USB writer: 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/usbwriter/
It can write image files to usb sticks and also to sd cards. Simply open the 
program as administrator, select the file, the target drive and hit "write". 
However, it seems this thing only can handle .img images, iso and other formats 
are incorrectly written to the card. 
There's also a console-based program called flashnul, however this doesn't seem 
to work under win7. 

HTH
Steffen
