Creating a Windows 7 bootable usb stick

This instructions work:

So I got the RC1 copy of Windows 7 from Microsoft after the beta test period was over. I also just so happen to have a Dell Mini 9 Netbook that is running Netbook Remix. With the two ingredients to test W7 on a netbook at my disposal I hit the blogs to get instructions on how to prepare my machine.

First and last I found this post on Gizmodo: http://gizmodo.com/5257386/how-to-install-windows-7-on-almost-any-netbook

Being on Gizmodo I assumed that he instructions had been tested and retested so they had to be solid. Boy was I wrong... I have been at this trying to build an image for the last 12 hours with about 6 hours inbetween to get some sleep.
