Usb Win7 For Mac Os

admin



These advanced steps are primarily for system administrators and others who are familiar with the command line. You don't need a bootable installer to upgrade macOS or reinstall macOS, but it can be useful when you want to install on multiple computers without downloading the installer each time.

Jul 08, 2011 Solution: Re-dowload OS X Lion, Open Disk Utility, locate InstallESD.dmg file from SharedSupport folder and double click it (Automatically the InstallESD.dmg and Mac OS X Install ESD is going to mount in the Disk Utility application on the left side), Drag the Mac OS X Install ESD file to the Source and Drag your usb partition (if you have more. Don’t be surprised by the slowness – it will take considerably longer to boot the operating system of a USB drive than the PCIe SSD installed in modern Macs. You can now run the operating system as normal and can use this USB drive to boot up your Mac if your boot drive fails.

macOS Catalina, macOS Mojave, ormacOS High Sierra
Installers for each of these macOS versions download directly to your Applications folder as an app named Install macOS Catalina, Install macOS Mojave, or Install macOS High Sierra. If the installer opens after downloading, quit it without continuing installation. Important: To get the correct installer, download from a Mac that is using macOS Sierra 10.12.5 or later, or El Capitan 10.11.6. Enterprise administrators, please download from Apple, not a locally hosted software-update server.

OS X El Capitan
El Capitan downloads as a disk image. On a Mac that is compatible with El Capitan, open the disk image and run the installer within, named InstallMacOSX.pkg. It installs an app named Install OS X El Capitan into your Applications folder. You will create the bootable installer from this app, not from the disk image or .pkg installer.

Use the 'createinstallmedia' command in Terminal

  1. Connect the USB flash drive or other volume that you're using for the bootable installer. Make sure that it has at least 12GB of available storage and is formatted as Mac OS Extended.
  2. Open Terminal, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.
  3. Type or paste one of the following commands in Terminal. These assume that the installer is still in your Applications folder, and MyVolume is the name of the USB flash drive or other volume you're using. If it has a different name, replace MyVolume in these commands with the name of your volume.
    Catalina:*
    Mojave:*

    High Sierra:*
    El Capitan:
  4. Press Return after typing the command.
  5. When prompted, type your administrator password and press Return again. Terminal doesn't show any characters as you type your password.
  6. When prompted, type Y to confirm that you want to erase the volume, then press Return. Terminal shows the progress as the bootable installer is created.
  7. When Terminal says that it's done, the volume will have the same name as the installer you downloaded, such as Install macOS Catalina. You can now quit Terminal and eject the volume.

* If your Mac is using macOS Sierra or earlier, include the --applicationpath argument, similar to the way this argument is used in the command for El Capitan.

Use the bootable installer

After creating the bootable installer, follow these steps to use it:

  1. Plug the bootable installer into a compatible Mac.
  2. Use Startup Manager or Startup Disk preferences to select the bootable installer as the startup disk, then start up from it. Your Mac will start up to macOS Recovery.
    Learn about selecting a startup disk, including what to do if your Mac doesn't start up from it.
  3. Choose your language, if prompted.
  4. A bootable installer doesn't download macOS from the Internet, but it does require the Internet to get information specific to your Mac model, such as firmware updates. If you need to connect to a Wi-Fi network, use the Wi-Fi menu in the menu bar.
  5. Select Install macOS (or Install OS X) from the Utilities window, then click Continue and follow the onscreen instructions.

Follow these simple steps in order to create a bootable USB drive from your MAC computer:

Requirements:

  • Windows 7/8 x64 iso (Note: x86 and Mixed iso files are not supported)
  • At least 8GB USB memory stick
  • Your MAC computer
1 On your MAC go to your Applications > Utilities and double click on the Boot Camp Assistant.
2 When Boot Camp Assistant loads, on the first screen click Continue and then select only the first option which says “Create a Windows 7 or later version install disk” and click Continue.

If you do not see this option move to the next step, otherwise go to step 8.

3 Go to Applications > Utilities then right click on Boot Camp Assistant and select “Usb win 7 for mac os recovery tool

Show Package Contents“. Then double click on the Contents folter. Locate the Info.plist file and make a copy of it in another location on your MAC.

Do this in order to have a backup of this file in case something goes wrong after editing this file.

4 Open Info.plist with TextEdit or with another text editor application like TextWrangler and search for the word USBBootSupportedModels. If the you find the word PreUSBBootSupportedModels instead of USBBootSupportedModels, rename it to USBBootSupportedModels.
Underneath USBBootSupportedModels you will see the declared versions of MAC computers (i.e. MacbookPro7,2 , iMac12,2 etc) that support Creating bootable USB drives. The word (i.e. MacbookPro) indicates the Model of the computer and the number (i.e. 7,2) the version.

If you see your computer’s model in this list, it means that your computer version is older than the declared number.

5 Find your computer’s Model Identifier by clicking on APPLE then on About This Mac then on More info… and finally on System Report…. On the window that appears you will see your computer’s Model Identifier.
6 Then Copy the Model Identifier and paste it in the Info.plist file under the PreUSBBootSupportedModels key.

Make sure that your computer model is written on the list only once (i.e. If your Model exists replace it with the correct number and do not make a duplicate with two different model numbers).

Finally Save the Info.plist file (You may requested to login in order to save the file).

7 This step is for OS X 10.9 users, as it creates some kind of signature that prevents you from changing the info.plist and cause bootcamp to crash. To prevent this from happening, go to Applications > UtilitiesUsb Win7 For Mac Os and double click Terminal.

Then write the following command into Terminal (it will ask you to enter your mac password to proceed). This command resigns the Boot Camp Assistant so that it runs with the new Info.plist.

sudo codesign ‐fs ‐ /Applications/Utilities/Boot Camp Assistant.app


8 On the Boot Camp Assistant with the “Create a Windows 7 or later version install disk” selected, click Continue. It will ask you to plug in your USB memory stick if it is not already plugged in.

Then locate the .iso file on your mac and click Continue (Note: All Data will be lost from your Memory stick).

9 Finally wait for the process to finish and you are DONE.

Enjoy!!
