I am trying to install Windows on my Hackintosh but I need a bootable drive. I have the iso and a flash drive but I cannot get them to boot as an installer. I tried formatting the flash drive with different formats and options but I got nothing to work. I do not have another Windows computer so I am unable to create a drive and obviously Bootcamp doesn't work on a Mac. Anyone else?
 
Download FreeDOS - http://www.freedos.org/ and boot to the DOS terminal. Use it to format your USB and make it bootable. Then add the Windows ISO to the USB.
 
So should I run that on a VM or another partition? It says its another OS, which will replace the existing OS, but I still want to keep mac.

You burn it to a CD and run it as a live CD - you do not install it.
