Thanks Jim and John for your quick replies.

I've contacted my friend and this is his response: "I put the iso file through 
Magic ISO to unzip it and then extracted the files to the USB Stick"

Unfortunately, he has gone away for the week so I don't have access to the 
original download. Can I reverse what he has done to recover the original iso 
file?
