ISOtoUSB Powershell script

I have created the script below using powershell to demonstrate the new storage features available in powershell on Windows 8 and Server 2012. This is also a pretty good example of how to build a GUI with powershell and window.forms. Unfortunately it will only work on Windows 8 or Server 2012 or higher even if you install powershell 4.0 the storage module is part of the OS so not available in Windows 7. The script will clean then format and make active the selected USB key then copy the selected ISO onto it.  Feel free to use or modify
