You don't format hard drives with ISO images. ISO images are cdrom disk images. If you dump an ISO image raw onto a hard drive, it won't be able to boot.

There's not a "right way" to do this as much as a way to install really complicated boot stubs which can understand ISO images. So getting the ISO in the disk is less than a quarter of the problem.

I suspect mac != dell, particularly given the very different ways macs and pc's handle disk partitions.
