I think the Slakcware ISO file is an hybrid image that can be used to create a bootable USB drive directly.

You could just use some version of dd for Windows in order to copy the ISO directly into the USB drive.

If that does not cut it then I guess you could use Unetbooting to transfer the Slackware ISO into the USB drive.

Definitively, just copying the files from the ISO into the pendrive won't work unless you set up a bootloader manually for the pendrive, which is more trouble than it is worth if you are asking for help with this.
