How do I create an bootable win 7 usb in ubuntu?

Question

Iḿ Using an EEE pc and dropped my win device. I dont have a disk drive as y'all may know..

I just want to reload my windows 7 from a bootable usb, which I wanna create on ubuntu 13.04.

After that I wanna Reinstall Ubuntu next to win7.

Iḿ not that kinda hardware person who fixes it in a moment. So if you guys could explain it easily and usuable, you will help me a lot.

Thanks a Lot From Holland

First, download WINusb by running these commands in the terminal

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:colingille/freshlight
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install winusb

after the installation, run winUSB and specify the .iso image you want to use in creating your bootable flash drive

Care with this software: at the installation it messed up my local grub, making my machine unbootable. – Gilberto Torrezan Jun 29 '15 at 21:42

You can use UNetbootin. Select the Windows 7 iso and create windows 7 bootable pen drive.

can i install it next to ubuntu or do i need to backup everything before instal from boot? – Lapzwans Jan 22 '14 at 15:47
when you install windows 7 it will re-write the grub. so the best solution is to first install windows create partition for ubuntu and then install ubuntu. – Sudeep Acharya Jan 22 '14 at 16:27
