So you just need a tool for writing an ISO file to a USB thumb drive?
-
Try Rufus
-
@scottalanmiller I am using Imgburn to make a file to ISO and then making that ISO to bootable from Rufus now

I've had good luck with Rufus.
-
But file cannot convert to ISO from Rufus right?

No, I do not think so. What file are you starting from?
-
Windows files aren't normally bootable. Rufus will mark a USB to boot, but you can't just put files into an ISO and expect it to boot, booting doesn't work that way.

@scottalanmiller I am having the extracted file of Windows OS in my pendrive.but the pendrive is not in bootable format.the extracted files to be made bootable by Rufus but before that I need to make that files into an ISO so that only I can try to install the Os in the laptop of my friends

Files cannot be made bootable, that's my point. No tool can do this for you. There is nothing bootable in those files. What do you expect a computer to do with them?
-
Please wait I got the Windows OS from my friends which was not in ISO format in DVD so all the files copied to my pendrive.the pendrive has the file which was the extraction of that ISO.so I need my pendrive to be bootable now for installing os

DVD and ISO are the same thing. It can't be one and not the other.
-
But the OS is not booting after changing the boot order in BIOS too

Of course not, you've explained that it cannot be bootable because you started from files. Files cannot be "made bootable" in this way. You've explained that you did not start from an ISO. I explained why that meant that what you are trying to do cannot be done.
Your response doesn't make sense given what we know. Of course it did not boot, it cannot.

So only I got Imgburn now and made ISO from DVD and then made bootable pendrive with the help of Rufus now

I understand that. You are not listening to what I have said. You don't have bootable files. So the ISO image can't be used to make something bootable. So Rufus marking it as bootable doesn't help you.
This is what matters: you didn't start with bootable files.
None of the rest matters.
