Creating boot disk for Windows 7 on MacBook Pro
The built-in Boot Camp Assistant can create a USB drive if you give it the ISO.
Try using dd
instead of asr
.
- Use
mount
to determine the device path of your attached USB disk. Find the disk itself and ignore the individual partition numbers. EG: if you get/dev/sda1
just use/dev/sda
for the next steps. - Unmount the disk in the Finder.
- Construct and run your
dd
command as such:dd if=/path/to/windows7.iso of=/path/to/usb/device
You can never use a mac formatted USB for Windows Use. This guide should help you burning a disc. http://lifehacker.com/251758/mac-tip--how-to-burn-an-iso-or-dmg-file-to-disc. Remember to insert a blank DVD (DVD+R recommended) and make sure it's blank before attempting to burn the ISO. If a message pops up about a blank disc, click do nothing or ignore it.
