Installing Flow OS on laptop... help?

Make sure you have extracted the cd-image (the .img) archive (.tar), you can use 7-Zip for this. When I download it, it is (something).tar.gz . I can extract it to a .tar, but I can't figure out how to get that to a .img. I tried renaming it, but that doesn't boot with it then.
Launch Windows Image Writer, select the image-cd (ChromeOS-Flow.img) and your USB drive letter.I understand this.
Click on “Write”. The installation image is copied to the key. (You may need administrator rights).I understand this.
The key will be formatted to copy the image. Once done, close the program and restart from the USB key.I understand this.

Put the tar file in a new folder, rt click on the file and choose Extract Here. That should create the .img file in the folder

So extract from .tar.gz->.tar->.img

is what you are saying?

EDIT- I swear I already tried that... but it's working. Thanks.
