How to make your USB drive bootable for Fedora 18 DVD ISO

Fedora 18

After more than year of usage of Fedora 16, I decided to install Fedora 18. Since my DVD ROM started to give me problems few months ago, I decided to install Fedora 18 from USB drive. I had good experience with installing Ubuntu from USB drive. I used UNetbootin to make USB drives bootable. I tried same thing for Fedora 18 DVD. USB drive became bootable. But installer failed with "failed to mount /dev/root". Same problem with Fedora Live USB Creator.
