You have to install a software for this purpose known as winUsb using following commands
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:colingille/freshlight
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install winusb
else download a .deb file from this link and then run following command
sudo dpkg -i [filename].deb
if you get any dependency problem or errors due to dependency problems use following command to resolve it
sudo apt-get install -f
check this for more info on .deb packages
you can check this link
for more details on installation and winusb check this website
