Linux – Putting a Red Hat Enterprise Linux installation image on a bootable USB mass storage

linuxredhat

I need to install Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 5 on a non-networked server, and I'm out of CD/DVDs. However, I do have a USB mass storage, but I can not figure out how to use it instead of a blank DVD.

I have found the following guide https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-10553 – but it requires a computer already running Linux, and I only have one running Windows 7.

How can I put the install images on a USB mass storage so it works same as a DVD?

I'm not familiar with RHEL, however I believe UNbetbootin (has a windows version), it should work.

Edit:

also check this, while it's mostly for Arch Linux, it should work with RHEL as well https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/USB_Installation_Media#On_Windows .
