Usb image writer

- Copy the .raw file to an USB stick using SUSE Studio Image Writer If you have error during copy, eject and re-connect the pen drive. When Windows asks if you want to format it, cancel and run Image Writer again. If the problem persists, disable your anti-virus software, it may be blocking raw write to the drive. Another Image Writer for Windows, if SUSE doesn't work - Boot the USB drive and install. Default boot loader is Clover If you want to use Chameleon press 1 at boot0 screen If you need, use TransMac to delete kexts which are causing problems (System/Library/Extensions) and delete kernelcache (System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup) If boot stops right before reaching the installer, or graphics aren't working right, delete video kexts: ATI = ATI* Intel = AppleIntelHD* and AppleIntelSNB* nVidia = GeForce* and NVDA* You can also move kexts booting with flag -s (single user mode)fsck -fymount -uw /mkdir /kext_backupcd /System/Library/Extensionsmv AppleIntelHD* AppleIntelSNB* ATI* GeForce* NVDA* /kext_backuprm ../Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/kernelcachereboot You need at least one free partition, use Disk Utility (in the Utilities menu) to erase it as Mac Os Extended (Journaled). If you want to install the boot loader in this partition and you use MBR (not GUID, like if you already have Windows in the HD), it must be a primary (not extended/logical) partition. Wait for the installation to finish and restart. - Boot the USB drive, then choose to boot the HD you just installed OS X (not the installer USB again). - Install boot loader to the HD. - Install essential and other kexts you may need (network, audio, etc). FakeSMC.kext is always needed While you don't have power management fixed, you will probably need NullCPUPowerManagement.kext NullCPUPowerManagement.kext.zip If you use PS/2 keyboard or a laptop you will need VoodooPS2Controller.kext - When you format the USB drive

You to press to reach startup options. Go to "startup options" and select the USB drive with the partition manager. Boot into the partition manager and delete all partitions, making sure all the space on the disk is unallocated. You should be able to figure it out, if you are confused there are a multitude of help articles and youtube videos on the subject.Installing DOS from USBOnce you download the FreeDOS zip file, extract it and use your preferred USB disk image writer to burn the FreeDOS .IMG to a USB stick. It's fairly straightfoward -- select the USB drive you want, select the disk image, and let the tool do its magic. It doesn't take up very much space and the installation should only take a few seconds. The USB writer I use is called "Rufus". If you're on Linux, you can probably get one from whatever package manager you have -- I seem to remember Linux Mint having one bundled with the operating system, back when I used it. Once you have the image, insert it into the old PC you want to install DOS on. This is the same process you did with the partition manager. Boot it up, and then when the BIOS loading screen comes up, press f12 or f2 or whatever key it says to press for startup options. This screen will be the screen that shows your PC manufacturer's name: for me, it said DELL. It might be HP, or something else. Once you're in your BIOS setup, go to "startup options" and select your USB drive from the menu, and not the hard drive.Once you boot into the USB stick, just follow the instructions. The tool should format and install DOS, it was fairly straightforward for me and went down without a hitch. It may have you reboot your PC -- it did for me. If it does this, you will have to enter startup options again and boot into the USB stick again -- it will not automatically boot into the stick.Once it's done, remove the USB and boot into your

Topic This article describes the method for imaging Datto Utilities onto a USB drive. Environment Datto Utilities Description The Datto Utilities environment (sometimes referred to as "Datto Stick"), is available for download at download.datto.com. The Datto Utilities application includes the Bare Metal Restore (BMR), SIRIS Imaged, and Datto Endpoint Backup restoration environments. Each of these are separate products that have their own unique uses and workflows. Datto updates Datto Utilities on a regular basis. Ensure that the USB stick has the latest version available from downloads.datto.com before use. The Datto Utilities version of the Bare Metal Restore (BMR) environment is only available for Datto appliances running the Datto IRIS 4 (Ubuntu 20.04) OS. Before using the Bare Metal Restore utility to image new hardware, it is critical to review all hardware prerequisites in the BMR Getting started article. Before using the SIRIS Imaged utility to image new hardware for use as a SIRIS device, it is critical to review all hardware prerequisites in the Getting started with SIRIS Imaged article. Datto Utilities is only compatible with writable USB media. Attempts to run the application from read-only media, such as a CD or DVD, will produce unreliable results. Prerequisites The following items should be available when starting this process: USB drive that is at least 8GB. USB drive must be at least 2.0, but 3.0 is strongly recommended. Datto recommends using the latest version of balenaEtcher to image the drive. Any other tool that writes the image directly to the destination without altering it can be used to image your USB stick. Examples include Win32DiskImager, Fedora Media Writer, USBImager, and dd. Do not use UNetbootin, Rufus, RMPrepUSB, Universal USB Installer, Ventoy, or livecd-iso-to-disk. NOTE ">NOTE Earlier versions of this article contained instructions for using Rufus or UNetbootin to image the USB drive. These solutions will NO LONGER BE COMPATIBLE with new versions (8 and higher) of Datto Utilities and so should no longer be used. IMPORTANT ">IMPORTANT Imaging your USB drive will format it entirely. Make sure the USB drive contains no valuable data before imaging. Obtaining the ISO Download the Datto Utilities image (.ISO) from the Datto Downloads page by navigating to the Datto Images tab and clicking the Download link under the Datto Utilities ISO section. Once the image file has downloaded, proceed to the next section. Imaging the USB Drive with balenaEtcher A free version of balenaEtcher is

It may eat your files,call you names, or explode in a massive shower of code. The authors takeno responsibility for these possible events.===================Build Instructions:===================Requirements:1. Now using QT 5.7/MinGW 5.3. Short Version:1. Install the Qt Full SDK and use QT Creator to build. See DEVEL.txt for details=============New Features:=============Verify Image - Now you can verify an image file with a device. This comparesthe image file to the device, not the device to the image file (i.e. if youwrite a 2G image file to an 8G device, it will only read 2G of the device forcomparison).Additional checksums - Added SHA1 and SHA256 checksums.Read Only Allocated Partitions - Option to read only to the end of the defined partition(s). Ex: Write a 2G image to a 32G device, reading it to a new file will only read to the end ofthe defined partition (2G).Save last opened folder - The program will now store the last used folder inthe Windows registry and default to it on next execution.Additional language translations (thanks to devoted users for contributing).=============Bugs Fixed============= 1285238 - Need to check filename text box for valid filename (not just a directory).LP: 1323876 - Installer doesn't create the correct permissions on installLP: 1330125 - Multi-partition SD card only partly copied 7 - Windows 8 x64 USB floppy access denied.

Not work well with other distribution for dual boot.Word of advice, if you do not have much time to spent, just install any of Ubuntu class Linux distribution. This guide contain instruction on installing Ubuntu on Mac Mini. Making Bootable USB DriveDownloading and Verify Linux Distribution Downloading of various distribution is straight forward. Go to Distrowatch.com and select your favorite Linux distribution. Follow the download instruction from the website. For verification of downloaded package, we use shasum in Mac OS X to perform verification.Use the following command: sudo shasum -a 256 xxxxx.isoThe option -a follow by a number tell the shasum to compute using sha 256 algorithm. For sha1 no option is required.The above command will generate a checksum which we can check against the website.Alternatively, we can download a checksum file. Checksum file is a text based file that contain all the checksum from a download site. Please put checksum file and the image file in the same folder. Use the following command:sudo shasum -a 256 -c checksum.txtThe system will run through the list in the checksum file and compare against the iso on the list. Those verified package will return OK. Preparing USB Drive for Mac MiniDownloading of various distribution is straight forward. But due to the nature of our Mac Mini, some distribution could not boot. Please note that our Mac Mini uses 32-bit EFI. We must configure the USB drive such that it is bootable from our Mac Mini. Some Linux distribution make it easy to boot from 32bit EFI while it is impossible to boot on some Linux distribution.Preparing Ubuntu USBUbuntu website has a tutorial for making a bootable USB for Mac system. See links below. The preparation involves in downloading an open source software called Etcher. We would recommend to uses the same method to make a bootable USB drive for all Debian/Ubuntu class of Linux distribution.Preparing Fedora USBWhen you try to download the latest Fedora workstation distribution, you will down the Fedora Media Writer instead. This is a useful tool to make bootable USB drive. To make Fedora USB drive, just run the media writer and download Fedora. Once download is completed, we can choose to copy the distribution to an USB drive. We recommend to use the same media writer for making USB drive for CentOS.Preparing USB for Other LinuxThe best method to make bootable drive for Manjaro is to use dd command. We will explore the details of making bootable drive in separate post.Booting from Mac MiniBooting from Mac Mini is quite straightforward. When the Mac Mini chimes, press option key (Alt key for Windows keyboard). Then, we choose to boot from the USB drive.We did not encounter any problem when we try to boot Ubuntu. However, after multiple switching of Linux distribution, multiple partitioning and reboot; the system could not boot and hangs occasionally. The only way is to reset SMC, or PRAM or both. Listed below is the support document for resetting SMC and PRAM.If you still encounter issue

File. This can be achieved by implementing the following steps: Mount the WinPE.wim file: imagex /mountrw WinPE.wim 1 c:\winpe_x86\mount\ Add the driver .inf file to the base image: peimg /inf= C:\winpe_x86\mount\Windows Repeat the above step for each additional driver. Unmount the WinPE.wim file: imagex /unmount /commit c:\winpe_x86\mount\Notes: Imagex.exe is normally located in the folder: C:\Program Files\windows aik\tools\x86 If both 32 bit and 64 bit WinPE boot wims exist, then it may be necessary to add the drivers to each of these wims, depending on the application. Ensure that the correct 32 bit or 64 bit drivers are used when customising your wim files. The wim file mount point is shown as c:\winpe_x86\mount\ in the examples above. This 'default' mount point can be set to any empty folder.Creating a bootable CDROM (32 bit)At the Windows PE Tools command prompt, type: oscdimg -n -bc:\winpe_x86\etfsboot.com c:\winpe_x86\ISO c:\winpe_x86\winpe_x86.isoThis will create a file called WinPE_X86.iso in the C:\WinPE_X86 folder. This file can now be burned to a CDROM using any CD writer software such as Nero, or a freeware utility such as IsoRecorder from: a bootable CDROM (64 bit)At the Windows PE Tools command prompt, type: oscdimg -n -bc:\winpe_x64\etfsboot.com c:\winpe_x64\ISO c:\winpe_x64\winpe_x64.isoThis will create a file called WinPE_X64.iso in the C:\WinPE_X64 folder. This file can now be burned to a CDROM using any CD writer software such as Nero, or a freeware utility such as IsoRecorder from: a bootable USB device32 bit bootThe following procedure applies, with minor differences, to both USB flash memory devices, and USB hard disks. Some command can be abbreviated and where this is possible, the abbreviations are shown in brackets. Boot your test machine where the WinPE iso image was created, using the Win PE CDROM created as detailed above. Wait until wpeinit has completed and you have a command prompt of: X:\Windows\System32> Type: DISKPART Type: LIST DISK (lis dis) and identify the disk number for your USB device. It will typically be Disk 1, so we will continue on that basis Type: select disk 1 (sel dis 1) Type: clean Type: create partition primary (create part pri). If no size is specified, the full device capacity will be used. Otherwise, append: size=(size in Kb) Type: select partition 1 (sel part 1) Type: active For USB hard disks type: format fs=ntfs LABEL="BOOT" QUICK. For USB flash memory devices type: format fs=fat32 LABEL="BOOT" QUICK Type: assign Type: exitAt this point the USB
