Although it's a bit annoying that I wasn't smart enough to do it with a mac, I'll get over it. This approach worked, and I got a UEFI bootable usb stick, so thanks for your link. With ventoy, you dont need to format the disk over and over. iso file I originally tried to copy with dd. Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files. Next I tried with the Rufus tool, which got the job done using the same.

I negotiated for some computing time on teh wife's pc laptop, and for some reason the microsoft Media Creation Tool (the first option in your link) failed with "Something Happened 0x80070002 – 0x20016" error code (internets said you could try logging in as admin etc. Doesn't dd work in such a way that it directly writes the input (the dvd image) to the device, and the file system of the image will be copied over what ever the usb stick has?Īnyway, I now have a bootable usb media. If someone knows the details of this, I'd be happy to learn more.Īlso I don't believe that formatting matters at all. Next step is to select your USB drive from the drop-down menu. Once launched, click the browse button to browse to the ISO file location and click open button to load the file.

Download ISO to USB setup file, install the same, and run it with admin rights. Which is what I did and it produced the file system I pasted up there. Building a CustoMac Hackintosh: Buyer's Guide
