How do i burn an ISO image to a flash drive?

I tried to use disk utility and dragged my ISO file into the source box and then my flash drive into the destination box. When i clicked restored and entered in my password i got a dialog box saying "Restore failure, Could not validate source - Invalid arguement". If someone could help me that would be great. I was trying to burn Windows 7 so that way I could install it in bootcamp because I need Windows for school.

Launch Disk Utility and select File: New: Disk Image From Folder. In the window that appears, navigate to the desired folder and then click on Image. Give the image file a name, and click on Save when prompted. That’s it.

HT4410 How do I download Windows 7 ISO image to my flash drive

I have a new mac mini and want to use it's boot camp assistant to set up windows 7, but I am having trouble finding a way to download the Windows 7 ISO image to a USB flash drive. Where can I buy and download this? With the mini, no optical drive is available and I don't want to buy the box, just download it and get it going.

I want to burn an iso image of my hard drive to an external backup drive. Is Disc Utility the best program to accomplish this?

Time Machine keeps giving me backup errors. I've run Disc Utility repair on the external drive, which shows no errors but the TM error continues. I've been copying and pasting files as an alternative, but I thought creating an ISO image of the entire system on the external would be a good idea. There's plently of room on the external drive.

Thanks again for the advice.
i have lost several hours trying to get the free download of the latest Daemon to function.
i eventually sucumbed to buying the full Mac version.
i made a mistake in my email address and cant find a way of using the order number to effect a download.
i have emailed Daemon with my details and optimistically await their response.
Thank you again.

Netbook Mini 110-3830NR How do I create a restore image on a flash drive

I have a HP Mini 110-3830NR Netbook running Windows 7 Starter.
I want to create a restore image to original factory state.
The user manual recommends that I create a restore disk.
It further states that to create a restore image on a USB device, I need at least
a 16GB device.
Therefore I purchased a Hp v165 16GB flash drive that actually contains
14.8 GB of user space.
I could not find the correct info about creating the disk on the HP support
web site so I chatted with an HP Support technician. She eventually gave me
a link to a procedure that would create a restore disk for me.
Then she said I needed a 32gb flash drive !!
Is the user manual or the technician correct ??
Can I use the 16GB (14.8 actual), or must I buy a 32 GB flash drive ??
Thank You fljim

I would just try to create it, the recovery creator should tell you at some point if it is big enough or not, orignally 8gb was big enough for most W7 system's HP sold, but as time passed they had to upgrade the size recommendation to 32gb.
the 16gb should be large enough for your model.
This HP document says al least 8gb minimum, use 16gb for best results, very confusing, I agree

""Burn image" or "Burn CD iso image""

How can I "Burn image" or "Burn CD iso image" in my MB? I cant find the option, Im whiling to run linux as a "live CD" for a computing project, any help will be apreciated.
thanks

Sounds like you need some virtualization software. There are paid and free ones. If you have free time and know your way around, qemu has an osx port located http://www.kberg.ch/qemu/ . Although the website is down now, there is Q from http://www.kju-app.org/
Parallels is the paid one I heard of. You can search the web for others too. As for booting the livecd, I think holding the 'c' key while booting should allow to choose to boot from cdrom. Not 100% sure on that though.
If you have an iso file, open it with Disk Utility, select the image on the left panel if it hasnt been selected and from the top menu find Burn.

Why can't LR import dialog see images on my flash drive or drive drive.

Everything was working great and now LR (version 5.6/camera raw 8.6) import dialog cannot see images on my flash drive or on my hard drive. I'm using a MacBook Pro Retina running on OS X 10.10 There are no issues using the same flash card on my wife's MBP with LR for imports (uses the same LR S/W version and runs on OS X 10.10 as my MBP). Also, iPhoto and Preview can read and import the Flashcard images just fine. I'm puzzled. Does anyone have a solution?

Thank you i found disk utilities... however i was reading in another area of the community that if I reformat it on my mac that it wont work on a pc.... The whole reason for doing this is so i can give my rough editted footage to my buddy so he can combine all the footage from our unit and make one big video, and he has a pc. Also if reformatting is the cure to this problem how do i know what to reformat it to. It doesnt tell me partition sizes for each option.

MDT Image Deployment Using Flash Drive

Hi,
In my environment i am using MDT 2010 image deployment process to deploy Windows XP and Windows 7 OS images,
As image deployment is foccussed on multiple remote locations we have planned to move with USB Flash drive (Pen Drive) for image deployment,
The problem occurs here in normal system through diskpart utility i can able to get all the disks including my flash drive but in win pe mode i am unable to get my flash drive listed in diskpart utility.
so the image deployment process hangs on to the microsoft solution accelerator screen i am unable to predict the actual reason but i can predict this can happen because of mass storage driver problems.
I tried the same using USB Hard Disk and succeded with the deployment and i am unable to guess what makes difference between USB Hard disk and USB Flash Drive.
Can you just help me out on this to close the problem ASAP..
So that i can proceed with my roll out activities.
Thanks in advance,
Siva

Hi,
At last the image deployment using flash drive works for me.
I attempted the following steps,
First i converted the flsh drive to bootable flash drive using diskpart utility,This can be done in Windows 7 Operating system only.
navigate to cmd and type Diskpart,and enter the below commands,
List disk
Select Disk no
create partition primary
select partition no
active
format fs=ntfs
Assign
Exit
Upon completition,Insert windows 7 DVD to the system and do the following
Navigate to DVD Drive in my case it is G: and change directory to boot
G:cd boot
G:\Boot>Bootsect.exe /nt60 I: where I: is my flash drive
Then copy the contents to the Usb flash drive and change the first boot device of the target system to local hard disk and deploy the image
while in Win pe mode use disk part utility to check whether your disk got detected.
If everything is ok then it will work.
Thanks for your valuable time.
Thanks and Regards,
Siva

I thought that installation through Boot Camp required, without hacks, a physical optical disc to install Boot Camp? I don't use it any longer since I run XP under Parallels, but I would swear that you have to use a disc, and not a USB thumb drive, to install Windows?
Maybe some real Boot Campers will visit this thread...

If you have the Media you can use it to create a bootable USB key via boot camp assistant.
It will create the usb and has the option of pre-downlading the drivers and bootcamp utilities for windows.
It is pretty much all automated and quite simple.

How to burn to ISO image in Premiere Elements 12.1 under Windows 8.1 64bit?

I really struggle - is there no way to burn from PE12.1 to ISO image (under Win 8.1)?

Motajko
There is no way to take your Timeline content to an ISO Image in Premiere Elements 12/12.1 on Windows 8.1 64 bit with just Premiere Elements 12/12.1 by itself.
Premiere Elements 13 is the first to offer a Burn To: option of ISO Image for DVD, AVCHD, and Blu-ray. Which one of those choices are you seeking (or all of them)?
If you cannot make due with the Burn To: Folder for DVD and AVCHD, then you can get your ISO Image from 12/12.1 in the following round about way....
Let us do AVCHD ISO Image as the example...
1. Burn your Premiere Elements 12/12.1 Timeline using Publish+Share/Disc/AVCHD, Burn To: = Folder (4.7 GB).
2. Take the BDMV Folder from the saved folder into the free ImgBurn program and export is as a ISO file.using the category named
Create Image File from Files/Folder.
3. When you need the disc product, you can take that ISO file to disc in ImgBurn using the category named Write Image File To Disc.
For more information on ISO Image and Premiere Elements, please review the following link's content

After you review and consider the above, we can discuss the matter further if needed.
Thank you.

Downloading and installing the free ImgBurn needs caution since it is known to travel with unwanted carry alongs.

How to propery burn a disk image for Kubuntu

I downloaded and burned a live cd of kubuntu and when i start up, nothing happens. (I am holding "c")
After going into sys pref > startup disks I see that the cd does not even show up! Mabey the problem is in buring the disk.
I open disk utility, select the iso of the live cd on the left, then hit burn in the toolbar. Then i hit burn again. Mabey i have to do something different to make it a bootable image?

Acorn,
I think you refer to Ubuntu Linux - from www.ubuntu.com, currently Version 5.10 ?
You are right, the machine should start from the CD when you turn on the computer and hold the "c" key, or, if you hold the "alt" key, the mac should give you the option to start from the CD.
What sounds strange in your explanation:
"I open disk utility, select the iso of the live cd on the left, then hit burn in the toolbar......"
If you downloaded the .iso image, then, open disk utility, disk utility cannot have any knowledge of the ubuntu CD. Its unlikely that the cd will appear in the left toolbar.
This can only happen, if you first mounted the image using disk utility.
Burning the CD this way is not recommended.
Even opening/mounting the image might damage the image (but very unlikely)
If this has happend,unmount the image, maybe redownload the .iso image.
Then, open disk utility, navigate to the "images" menu, click "burn".
In the open dialog of the finder, find the .iso image, select it and burn.
That way you should get a bootable CD.
I hope, this helps, if not, post back the specs of your machine, or lookup on the ubuntu site if it is supported by ubuntu.

How can I burn a disk image using disk utility with an external device?

I am trying to burn a disk image on DVD using disk utility in OS 10.3.9.
When I click the 'burn' button only the internal CD-writer appears allthough an external DVD-burner is connected via USB 2.0.
Does anybody have an idea how to make disk utility recognize the external device?

Try installing PatchBurn.

[Solved] how do i build my ISO image with archiso?

hi all
i've been following this wiki and it's been going really well (it hasn't gone wrong...). but the wiki page just sort of stops halfway through the configuration bit
a google search brought me to this page which suggests using the "build.sh" script located in my chroot environment's /tmp/releng/ directory.
running this script returns the error "build.sh: line 207: syntax error near unexpected token '('
line 207 of the file reads:
paste -d"\n" <(sed "s|%ARCH%|i686|g" ${script_path}/aitab.${_iso_type}) \
i don't really know much about scripts so i can't see what's wrong
any advice?
sorry if i've missed a wiki or something n00bish like that. also i'm aware that someone who doesn't know what they're doing shouldn't be attempting archiso but i thought it would be a fun learning experience

thanks for that, according to this it should be run like
/path/to/build.sh build single netinstall
from inside the chroot
posting this for my own reference and in case it helps others, will mark as solved
thanks again for your help
