Bootable Drive Maker App For Mac



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. When it’s done, insert your USB drive into any Mac, then launch the installer by holding down the Option key when you boot up your computer.

DiskMaker X (was Lion DiskMaker) helps you to build a bootable drive from the official OS X installer app (the one you download from the Mac App Store). It detects the OS X Install program with Spotlight then proposes to build a bootable install disk and make it look as nice as possible. It’s the easiest way to build an OS X Installer in a few clicks! Then you can use the Install drive to fully re-install the OS on a freshly formated drive, or install it on your many Macs without re-downloading the full installer.

Bootable Drive Maker App For Mac
Active2 years ago

What I need to achieve is

  1. Create a Bootable USB drive from Windows 7 iso image using a Mac running.
  2. Use the flash drive to boot and install windows on a PC (not Mac)

What I'm looking for is an app like WinToFlash but one that can run from OS X.This app make a bootable flash drive from a Windows iso image. I found a mac alternative to WinToFlash a while ago, but I don't remember the name.

All I can find is questions about making a bootable usb from a mac to a mac. I want to repair a Windows PC that doesn't startup but I have a working Mac computer, the target computer is a PC (not Apple).

A PC can't boot from a USB created with bootcamp which have MBR based BIOS.

UNetbootin doesn't seems to work with Windows iso's just Linux iso's.

P.S. the target PC have BIOS, it doesn't have UEFI.

Bootcamp can create a USB for PC. Just only check the 'Create a Windows 7 or later version install disk' checkbox. A similar question from How to create a Windows 7 installation USB from OS X? shows that Bootcamp has the 'ability to create install USBs' for Windows.

Have you tried using UNetbootin with the Windows ISO? According to various references online it should work (although that was using the Linux and Windows versions).

Make A Bootable Mac Disk

Several years ago I created a Windows 7 boot USB using UNetbootin but I can't remember if it was created using OS X or a Windows virtual machine.
