The other alternative is to copy the ISO to a 2nd partition on a flash drive - see Tutorial #22 on my site.

Only special USB Sticks can do that. You need a U3 stick for that and than the special manufacturers tool, like steve6375 already said.
There are some sticks, which can do that without being marketed as U3 sticks, but they're harder to find.
btw. No use looking for a point and click, one size fits all tool. There is none!

Works great with Lexar flashdrives and they don't have to be U3 , others I'm not so sure. Has provision to load iso file and to boot it as cdrom.
With this your PC will see it as cdrom drive.

When I added the link as normal on this post it would not work either
cutting and pasting to browser should work.

I have over 20 USb pens and all the Lexar pens are detected, also a freebie Microsoft pen and a Netac pen. None of the others (inc. Maxell, Sandisk Slice Cruzer,Patriot, Busbi, Verbatim and Corsair, etc.) worked.
Note: The ones that did work also work with Bootit.exe.
These are the ones detected by SMI UFDisk Utilities 1.0.0.2 (only one lexar pen example shown)

I even managed to make an old 2251-50 believe it was two floppy disks. Haven't tried actually booting it though.
Here's a Verbatim I turned into a DVD-ROM... if you insert it into a Mac, it automatically launches DVD Player and starts to play.
Unfortunately it is a read only situation, although you can write to the rest of the USB stick no problems.
The floppy disks OTOH, were fully writable. So, if they boot, I will be well happy. So much easier to prep a boot disk for stuff.
(PS: Yes, I changed the VID and PID, as well as the description field... I was bored)
oh, maybe i changed the serial number too

Then I discovered UFD Utility would do the same more flexibly and simply for that device:
Tools were downloaded from flashboot.ru put that in your search engine and use translate if you like a challenge.

Really? It's not that hard to navigate it in Russian... from http://flashboot.ru/ on the right hand side, is a link to
SMI SM3257ENAA MPTool V2.03.58 v8 K1129T
Then, you just have to know the following key phrases:
- Download
- Copy this stupid code: "Повторите код:"
- You got the stupid code wrong: "Неверно введён код, введите код правильно!"
- Your download will begin in (N) seconds: "начнется автоматически через 5 секунд."
As for learning how to actually use the tools? Now that would be a challenge. I found a partial english guide for Phison chips, and now it all makes sense. But I have never had any luck with other brands.
I did follow steve's instructions, I even have a few "Product Model: JD FIREFLY" Lexar's laying about. But I found that all it did was create an ISO sized USB stick, rather than something that actually enumerated as a CD/DVD ROM.
I'll try again, but I may as well post my abbreviated guide to doing it the Phison way. Even money that the Verbatim stick that steve mention would have been a Phison.

these off topic ideas should be moved to "Life on Mars" which should be a permanent feature where we can vent, display etc etc our of course, off topic thoughts, it might be cathartic,
