Spoiler cause I am sure no one cept felinoel cares.
- Spoiler:
1. stick your usb into the machine and mount the 2k8 iso.
2. open a command prompt and type "diskpart" to open the disk utility.
3. type "list disk" and identify the usb from the list.
4. type "select disk 3" where 'disk 3' is your usb, this will select the disk.
5. type "clean" WARNING this will remove all data.
6. type "create partition primary" this creates a primary partition on the usb.
7. type "select partition 1" this selects the primary partition you just created.
8. type "active" this sets the partition to active which lets it boot.
9. type "format fs=fat32" this will format the file system to fat32. (this will take a while)
10. type "assign" this will assign it a drive letter.
11. type "exit" this will exit the disk utility.
12. type "xcopy d:\*.* /s/e/f e:\" where 'd:\' is your 2k8 disk and 'e:\' is your usb, this will copy the install files from the mounted dvd image to the usb.
wait I just got a pm that you fixed it your self... it took way to long to do this so take it anyway. that method should also work for most other OS's.
Actually someone on Gaia gave that exact same process... well it was close enough.

Mostly, but the technology forums isn't.
I also asked 4chan, but I couldn't link to them all because apparently threads in 4chan go away after a while..? Odd way to go about it.

Gaia used to not be, but nowadays it is a little overwhelming, people used to collect every item Gaia had, now no one could do that... not without real life cash...
