How can I create a non-EFI USB installation media

Hi fellows,
I usually create a non-EFI installation CD  via this procedure
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Un … ical_Media
But now my optical drive is broken, so I need to create an USB non-EFI installation media.
How can I do ???

Hello nTia89,
I'm in a similar situation to yours. I have an ancient MacBook Pro (1,1) with a broken optical drive, and any attempts to get EFI boot working with Linux have resulted in no graphics.
My solution has been to first install Mac OS X via USB, then install Refind. After that, Refind will recognise Arch USB media during boot and you can install.
I'm only booting Linux, so my solution has been to use MBR on the hard drive. That forces the machine to use the BIOS compatability mode.
Don't hesitate to ask if you have any further questions!

  • Can't boot from windows 7 usb installation media

    When trying to boot from windows 7 usb installation media no efi boot option availiable. Using "boot from efi file" option whith each and every .efi file on installation media results in a message saying "The selected boot device failed. Press <Enter> to Continue". 
    USB installation media created using original windows 7 iso image and couple diskpart commands(resulting in clean flash storage with a single active primary partition) plus simple copying of the iso image's contents on usb flash. 
    Enabling/Disabling SecureBoot doesn't have any impact whatsoever. 
    Installation boots from aforementioned media successfully when CSM enabled, though i would really prefer installing Windows 7 in uefi mode. Which microsoft claims Windows 7 supports. 
    Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. 
    PS: my disappointment in this particular HP notebook is unspeakable. Aside from issue of the current topic, It keeps defaulting to windows boot manager when dual-booting windows & linux no matter what i do, and windows 8.1 Pro is constantly BSODing whenever i try to run fullscreen games on high-performance GPU whith every graphics driver i could possibly install (including both hp's own and amd's). Found silly workarounds for both of these issues, however still hate HP treating it's customers that way.

    Booting from USB 2.0 port or DVD with SecureBoot disabled gets me to a screen saying "starting windows", just before the actual setup begins and then system simply hangs. Still unable to install. Thanks for your suggestion though.

  • How can I create a BIOS recovery USB?

    *Updated* I tried another flash using HP download & Install assistant and things went a lot smoother. I am ok
    My mouse and computer froze while flashing latest BIOS f.29 and had no option but to cut power. On startup I either get a black screen or the HP logo is very messed up with different colours. The "windows is starting" screen is the same, all glitched out with purple and green. But after a couple tries and letting the PC sit for a few minutes I got through and into windows
    I don't know if I should try flashing again from windows, but I would like to know the easiest way to create a BIOS recovery from a formated fat32 USB...

    Should mention I no longer have HP_Tools pertition on my drive as the hard drive was replaced a couple years ago and was formatted with a fresh windows 7 install

  • How can I create music streaming service using azure media services?

    Hi, I'm still new to azure, after doing some research and testing, I found out that Azure don't support music streaming where mp3 song uploaded weren't supported.
    Just wondering, is it true or is there any ways that I can deploy music streaming service something like spotify do but not that advance? I'm trying on a school based project. Thanks for the guides and I really appreciate it! 

    It really depends on what you mean in your case by "Streaming".  Is there a specific streaming protocol that you are looking to support?  Remember that "streaming" is different from just progressive download of a file from a
    web server.  If you are looking to just "download and play" an mp3 file, blob storage works just fine.  If you have a requirement for an actual streaming protocol like MPEG-DASH, or Apple HLS, then Azure Media Services can help. 
    If you are streaming content to an iOS device that is longer than 5 minutes in duration, Apple prefers that you use their HLS protocol.   It can handle audio only streams.
    For streaming in Azure Media Services, you can encode you media into a single MP4 audio file and then request the Streamig URL to play it back in either HLS or MPEG-DASH format depending on which client you are targeting. 
    To play it back in MPEG-DASH, use the latest DASH.js player.

  • TS2756 How can i create a new usb connection (service)  on my iMac for sharing internet from my iPhone5 ( i seem have to deleted it )

    How can i create a new usb connection (service)  on my iMac for sharing internet from my iPhone5 ( i seem have to deleted it )
    i know its not a problem whit my carrier o data plan or sharing preferences on the ipone because when i use it un my laptop it works perfectly through
    the usb and even works on the Imac through wifi and bluethood tethering but NOT through usb!!.
    the problem is that trying to make it work i deleted the "profile" usb iphone on the network prefereces panel. Now i only have 3 options: ethernet / wifi / bluetooth
    but not the usb iPhone i used to have.
    And when i try to add a new one i dont get a USB option.
    can some one help me please??
    this is how it looks (after the bluetooth PAN i used to have USB iPhone option)

    The question would be more appropriate in the Mac forums as it is not really related to the iPhone.

  • How can I create a new folder in an external disk that is connected via USB to my Mac?

    How can I create a new folder in an external disk that is connected via USB to my Mac?

    Just like you would create a new folder anywhere. Open the drive's icon from your desktop or the Finder, and click shift-command-N. (Or use the Finder menu if you prefer - File - New Folder).
    If you can't create a folder, your drive may be the wrong format (you can't write to a Windows/NTFS formatted drive, for example). You'll have to back up any files you have on there, and then use Disk Utility to reformat it to Mac Extended (if it will only be used on a Mac) or MS-DOS format (if you want to share it with a PC).

  • How can i create a Trash for external USB Drives ?

    Hello,
    how can i create a Trash for external USB Drives or my TimeCapsule ?
    Thanks.

    You do not need to create trash cans for individual drives.  The trash can on the desktop holds deleted files from all mounted drives.
    TimeCapsule manages its own space.  If it fills up it will delete older backps to make space for newer ones.

    i live in canada so i shose the canada store so now its asking me to add a credit card most people say to chose the none option but there no none option! how can i create this apple id without credit cards or without the none option!

    Either add or credit card or
    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old

  • How can I view my photos in "Events" like in iPhoto? How can I create events?  I have 55,000 photos and 1700 events so the only way I can possibly manage my photos is using events that are one slide in size.

    I have 55,000 images organized into about 1700 events. The only reasonable way to view my library is using events in iPhoto where each event has one image That still leaves 1700 images to sort through but that is a lot easier than 55,000 images.  In the side bar is a folder with "iPhoto Events" but those views still show all of the slides.  How can I create events and view my photos as events as in iPhoto?  Events are critical for large libraries and has been my primary way to sort images.
    Thanks!

    I had a problem a couple of months ago when iPhotos suddenly rearranged the order of my Events (Why won't iPhoto let me arrange my photos?) .  I was told "Use albums not events - events are not a good way to organize - albums and folder are designed for organisation and are very flexible".
    Haha!  I should have paid attention and read between the lines!  My iPhotos were highly organised groupings - not according to date but the way I wanted them - and it was so easy to do!  I see now that if I had them all in albums, as per the Apple Apologist suggestion, I wouldn't have this unholy mess I have been left with just to make iPhone & iCloud users happy.  I am now going through Photos and making Albums (of what used to be in my Events)  ... maybe I'll get this finished before they do another non user friendly update!

    These are just playlists. The songs there are really not duplicates of the songs. They are just a different location for accessing them. Some playlists can be deleted, some cannot. Ones that are created by iTunes cannot be deleted. Ones that you create can be. The Recently Added and the 90's cannot.
