So you aren't adding details, you're asking questions without researching it beyond a single case in which your point is true while ignoring the numerous cases in which it is false. If you write the common dmgs (that contain compression) to a USB, many things do not handle them correctly. To avoid the few rare cases in which a dmg behaves as an iso, it's best to just convert it to a known valid format. Iso is a standard, dmg is often contains compressed items, where isos do not. Again, look at the differences between dmg and iso. If you are unfamiliar, DD is a bit by bit copy and sync just verifies that all files have been written to the usb. This method is a little hard on flash drives (I have killed one or two doing this relatively frequently, but once should be fine). Remove any PCI cards.ĭo not add a partition # after that (such as sdb1). Remove any USB peripherals besides keyboard and mouse. Remove any hard drives besides the blank drive being used for OS X. In fact, it's easier and faster for me to install Snow Leopard with fully working components on my system than it is to install Windows 7. A dual-layer DVD, Bluray disc, or empty USB drive (8 GB or larger): If you are setting up iAtkos from Windows. If you're not sure which version to use, just use ML2. You can also use iAtkos M元, an updated version that only works with motherboards with UEFI (a guide regarding motherboards with UEFI will be posted soon).

Dd if=/path/to/osx.iso of=/dev/sdX & sync Note: sdX is an example, you will have to check your flash drive address (usually sdb if you have only one hard disk). Have you tried '? It'll convert the DMG to an ISO for you.Īfter that, the easiest way I know of to make a bootable USB is using DD.
