R&R 4.5 cannot make bootable USB

Hi, i have upgraded to R&R 4.5, but i have the problem. I have switched to UEFI, so my system SSD drive is GPT now. I have reformated my USB drive for backups to GPT as well. Now i started R&R to make first backup and make my USB disc bootable. When i start first backup, it asks me if to make partition bootable. I confirmed, it started Create Rescue Media process but immediatly displayed dialog "Insufficient partition size to complete the operation. The partition must have 1000 MB of available space to complete this operation". But i have no idea, what partition. USB drive is empty, only one parition created, so what is the problem? If i confirm this error dialog, it continues with making backup, but then USB drive is not bootable. Thanks for advice.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

I changed the USB drive from GPT back to MBR and R&R is able to make the disc bootable. If i set it as GPT, then there is an error. Does R&R 4.5 support external USB drive for backup as GPT?

  • Can i make bootable usb of already made recovery disks?

    i have hp pavillion dv4 series laptop.I have already made its recovery disks,which i need now.But my cd/dvd reader is not working,so i want to make bootable usb of these three disks.Can i do it or is there any other way for me??

    sawsank,
    had it been obvious, I would not have asked the question. In a number of discussions here, people will often mention details that are not relevant to their goal, which is why I’d asked for clarification.
    A Boot Camp partition can only be created in an internal disk, so Boot Camp can be ruled out in pursuit of your goal. (Once created internally, it won’t be bootable if it is subsequently made external.) Short of virtualizing Windows 7 in one of your four bootable OS X partitions, I don’t know the answer for how you can achieve it.

  • Unable to redownload OS X Mavericks to make bootable USB flash disk

    Hi,
    I'm trying to redownload Mavericks from the App Store so I can make myself a bootable USB so I can do a clean install.  The only problem is when I click on the download button for Mavericks from with Purchases, I get prompted with a message saying that "Mavericks is already installed, but if I wish to continue downloading the installer, click continue."  But when I do, I just get a spinning loader up top, and nothing starts to download...  I've tried pressing Atl or Command C (which was offered as a solution on another thread but just throws back an error ding sound at you when you do).
    Does anyone have an idea of how to  get around  this or another way of downloading the installer? 
    I'm starting to feel like I'm banging my head against the wall here...

    I ran into the same issue - downloaded and installed Mavericks yesterday, but forgot to save the download first so I could make a USB installer. When I went to re-download, I got the "Mavericks is already installed..." message, clicked Continue, the wheel at the top of the window started spinning, and then...nothing. I let the wheel spin for the better part of an hour several times without seeing any progress. Neither restarting App Store, nor Control-clicking the 'Download' button, nor attempting to download from the 'Purchases' tab succeeded in starting the download.
    I decided to try temporarily spoofing my OS X version, and it worked! Here's a step-by-step:
    1) If it's currently running, close App Store.
    2) In a Finder window, navigate to System/Library/CoreServices (you must have Finder set to display hidden and system files as detailed here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4505509).
    3) Copy 'SystemVersion.plist' to your Desktop, and then rename the copy to 'SystemVersionNEW.plist'.
    4) Using TextEdit, open this copy of the file, and change the system version listed under the 'ProductUserVisibleVersion' and 'ProductVersion' fields to something lower than 10.9 (I used 10.7, but I suspect anything lower than 10.9 would work).
    5) Save the file on the Desktop.
    6) Copy your newly edited 'SystemVersionNEW.plist' into the System/Library/CoreServices directory.
    7) At this point, run App Store. Leave it at its initial welcome screen, which today is showing the big 'OS X Mavericks' banner at the top.
    8) Now go back to your Finder window(s), rename the original file to 'SystemVersionOLD.plist', and rename 'SystemVersionNEW.plist' to 'SystemVersion.plist', effectively replacing the original file with your edited version.
    * Note here that in order to rename the original 'SystemVersion.plist' file, you will probably have to edit its Sharing and Permissions settings by Control-clicking on it, selecting 'Get Info', scrolling down to the bottom of the info window, clicking the lock icon, entering your password, and then changing all the entries in the 'Sharing and Permissions' window just above the lock icon from 'Read Only' to 'Read & Write'. (Once you finish the process and your download has started, you can go back and change permissions back to 'Read Only'.)
    9) Go back to App Store and click on the OS X Mavericks banner (if you don't see the OS X Mavericks banner at the top of the window, just do a search for 'Mavericks' and click on 'OS X Mavericks' when it comes up in the search results). If everything has worked as it did for me, you'll now see a 'Free Download' button, instead of 'Download'. Click it, then click 'Install' and your download should begin.
    10) As soon as the download appears on your Launchpad with a progress bar, you can go back to Finder, delete 'SystemVersion.plist", and rename 'SystemVersionOLD.plist' to 'SystemVersion.plist', replacing your edited version with the original.
    As always, it's a good idea to be careful when editing system files, and make backups before changing anything.
    Note that you must have App Store running already before renaming the original 'SystemVersion.plist' file; if you make the change in step 8 and then try to run App Store, it will throw an error and won't start.

  • HT201272 Can I get a refund? Downloaded MOUNTAIN LION (tho preinstalled) to make bootable USB Startup drive

    Making a bootable start-up USB stick, I have been charged for downloading the necessary Install file for Mountain Lion even though the App store knew it was already on my new MacBook Pro. Can I get a refund?
    I have already paid for Mountain Lion when I bought the laptop, and online discussions that I read all said we don't have to pay again and can download by pressing Option key. ( I know I can use Restore or Internet Restore, but if the disk became really screwed up in the future I would like to have  a failsafe way of restarting from a USB pen drive, which means the necessary Install file needs to be downloaded in order to have a bootable USB. It does not remain on the laptop once Mountain Lion is activated.) Why does Apple not allow us to do this the easy way? I have since found reference to someone mentioning on Apple Support that he got a refund, but he does not say HOW!
    There was a link in the Invoice Email for reporting a problem with the payment, but I don't want an automated Apple to think there's been an illegal use of my account and then freeze my account, and so have not persued this link.
    Does anyone have any ideas about this?

    I started typing it out but this is easier.

  • How to download Lion again to make bootable USB drive?

    I downloaded Lion and have it installed.  Wanted to create a bootable USB drive from the .dmg file but it's gone after install.  How can I download again?  App Store shows it's installed and won't let me re-download.

    This is not difficult and you will not have to download from the app store.
    your computer has what is called  a recovery partition that came with it.
    simply hold cmd+R while you boot up. let go a second after you hear the chime.
    you will boot into the recovery partition.
    Use disk utlity to format your usb drive and then exit Disk utlity and go to Reinstall Mountain Lion.
    it will ask  you which disk you want to install ML onto. Choose your new USB drive.
    easy peasy

  • Cant make bootable USB Drive / Ext HD

    My hard drive gave out on me the other day, so i went and purchased a new one. However, my optical drive went dead a while back, so my only option to install the OS was via USB or Ext HD. I bought an ext disk drive, but i couldnt get it to run the installer when i booted up (Apple told me that installers wont work on USB ext disk drives) It DID recognize it when the computer was booted up, so i made a CDR of the Snow Leopard CD. I then looked on forums as so how to make it bootable. I cleared an ext, partitioned it, and selected GUID from options.
    Now where i run into trouble is here: I went into restore and dragged the cdr to the SOURCE field and the drive to DESTINATION. nothing would happen. i researched and found out that the cdr had to be a dmg. So i converted it. Now when i did it again, i got an error. I went into "scan image for restore" to see if the dmg was the problem, and i get the error: Unable to scan "Mac OS X Install DVD.dmg."(Invalid argument).
    Im assuming that i either didnt make the cdr correctly, or i converted it wrong. I still have copied of them both. Any help would be appreciated....

    If your optical drive isn't working how did you make a .dmg of it?
    Now, what you can do is take the DVD and your external HDD to a computer with a functioning optical drive. Use the Restore option of Disk Utility to clone the DVD to the external HDD:
    Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
    1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    4.Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external drive.
    Source means the OS X DVD.
    Be sure your external drive has been prepared correctly:
    Drive Preparation
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.

  • How do I make bootable USB mp3 player/flash disk?

    hi
    i have a big problem. less than a month ago i have backed up my computer using the latest version of Norton ghost v10.0. i then burned the data on to a DVD and i kept it safe. today i encountered a problem i could not cess the internet on my laptop, nor uninstall/install a program, nor get access to help and support. therefore i got the backup DVD inserted it into the DVD drive i opened Norton ghost clicked recovery and then clicked recover my computer. i told it where to look for the backup and then started restore but i then ran into an error message which says the below:
    cannot complete the restore of recovery point d:\Toshiba ghost image001.v2i
    -Error EC8F178F: Cannot complete the restore of recovery point: D:\Toshiba ghost image001.v2i.
    --Error EC8F03F1: Cannot open recovery point 'D:\Toshiba ghost image001.v2i'.
    ---Error EBAB03E9: Internal Application Error: Memory Access Violation c0000005: Application tried to read memory at 034bac3c.
    i have another way of restoring the data this is by making a mp3 player or flash disk boot the computer but on the flash disk there will be the operating system. is there any way to make the flash disk bootable.
    i would like to know this because if it boots up from the flash disk or mp3 i can then delete the contents on the HDD and restore the data.
    and also when trying to restore it says a file or program is using the file its trying to restore.
    can somebody help,
    regards

    Hello Samee
    The best way to boot the unit in DOS mode is to use external floppy drive. This drive is not expensive and if your data are so important you can invest a few euros to buy it. Using start disk you will be able to boot into DOS mode and do what you want to do.
    I also recommend you to contact Norton and see if they have some simply solution how to install created image.
    With mp3 player you will not be able to boot up.

  • Make a bootable USB

    Hello!
    So, I want to make a bootable USB drive of my OS X 10.8 after they take it out of Mac App Store... (soon we'll be having OS X 10.9, right?).
    Anyway, I have a software required to make a bootable drive; I have an 8 GB drive prepared... but my question is:
    I have OS X 10.8.5 installed. If I make a bootable drive... which 'version' of OS X 10.8 will be installed on it? The frist version (let's call it 10.8) or the version I have (onde again 10.8.5)? To be honest I prefer to have an 'original' version on the USB drive...
    Thanks for any information you may give me!!
    All the best!!

    You cannot do this from your already installed system. You must get a copy of the actual Mountain Lion installer application.
    Make Your Own Mountain/Lion Installer
    1. After downloading Mountain/Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Mountain/
        Lion application. After Mountain/Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button.
        Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Mountain/Lion installer. Move
        the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You
        must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes
        installing.
    2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
      a. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
      b. After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left
          side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
      c. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one.    
          Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the
          partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until
          the process has completed.
      d. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side
          list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      e. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the
          button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
      f. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash
         drive size.
    3. Use Lion DiskMaker 2.0 to put your installer clone onto the USB flash drive.
    Note: The term Mountain/Lion used above means Lion or Mountain Lion.

  • Download installation files from app store to make a bootable USB

    Hi,
    I just got a new mac mini with OS X Server 10.8.2. I want to replace the original hard drive with an SSD, but I have problems downloading installation files from app store to make a bootable USB stick.
    When i click the Purchases button it tells me that OS X Server is already installed, and I'm not able to download the files.
    I have tried all the diffrent forms of Option key clicks but nothing works.
    Anyone out there who have a solution?
    Is it possible to get the installation media in some other way?
    By the way. Is it possible to install the non server version on a computer thats bought with the server version pre installed.
    I thought so. But I read something about firmware problems on a forum page?
    BR
    Daniel

    You cannot download Mountain Lion or Mountain Lion Server from the App Store if it was pre-installed on the computer.
    You can call Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. They may be willing to arrange a download for you. Or you can reinstall via Internet Recovery: OS X (Lion/Mountain Lion)- About OS X Recovery.
    No, you can purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store on the computer you want to install it if it now has Snow Leopard or Lion running.

  • Cannot create your bootable usb stick

    Hi all,
    I'm new to bootcamp and I have the following problem:
    When I'm creating a Windows 7 usb drive, it gives me an error "Cannot create your bootable usb stick there was a problem copying files".
    I've tried searching google for the problem, but the only possible solutions I've got was to unmount the iso image and try again, but when I do that I still get the same error and when I check the disk utility I find the iso image is mounted again.
    Does anyone haven an idea about what to do.

  • Cannot reinstall Tiger : installer stuck (cannot make disk bootable)

    Good afternoon experts,
    I am writing to you here as I have a problem with the Tiger installer which suddendly stops when trying to install on a prepartioned disk.
    First, some background information : I have a 20' iMac Intel machine which I bought on February 06 (well designed machine, happy with it so far). The thing is, I have had serious crashes and lockups using the UB version of VLC (media player) which led me to hard reboot the machine several times. Despite the journaling on the disk, some of my filesystem was corrupted, seemingly beyond repair (some apps did not even boot, nothing happened when I plugged in an external disk, etc). Scanning for disk errors and permissions problems revealed that a lot of files had been damaged ("extended allocation" error) in both the system and in my applications.
    As I did not know what to do (I should have asked first here whether it was possible to reinstall only parts of the OS using, maybe, a package manager), I synced my backups and went for a reinstall.
    The thing is, the disk is already partitioned, as I also run Linux on the machine (updated firmware and repartitioned the disk w/ BootCamp; worked well). It contains, in that order : the hidden EFI partition (fat32), the macOSX HFS+ volume (where I want to install), Linux swap partition, HFS+ partition (for use w/ rEFIt, the EFI bootloader), and two Linux ext3 partitions.
    The install starts fine (booting from the DVD which came with my machine), the macOSX volume is formatted but the installer just then stops. Looking at the logs, I can see that it is because it cannot make the volume bootable (this is what the error message says). Note that it correctly read the partition table/EFI partition scheme as it gives me the correct partition types I have presented above. Also note that I cannot do an "archive and install" procedure, seemingly because I have insufficient space (6GB free on the volume); the installer does not give me any choice. Finally, I can still boot into Linux holding the 'Alt' key and using the builtin volume chooser to start on the second HFS+ volume.
    I am asking for help to you gurus, to know what to do here. I was think maybe something like using the shell to do a manual 'bless' would solve the issue; I would like however to be sure before proceeding. Otherwise, is there a manual installation procedure (as there is for instance on the Debian installer, allowing to skip/redo some install steps)?
    Thanks for your help experts,
    Vincent
    PS: I am going to see whether I can collect the logs and post them here.

    Hello back,
    As I did not find a way to attach my logs, I am posting the most relevant parts of it here.

  • I cant make a bootable (usb/dvd) for windows 8.1 pro 64 bit

    right now i am using windows 8.1 pro 32 bit ,, want to change to 64 bit   , my CPU is 64 bit  and i have 4 GB ram (i know i should have more ram ,, but i dont do this upgrade for the ram  , but because some emulators , and some application
    ask 64 bit) so i used every possible way on my computer , using windows 7 download tool , rufus , etc programs to make the usb  , imgburn for dvd , i did from a friends computer that is windows 8.1 pro 64 bit ,, but nothing everything DOESN'T work  ,
    all  32 bit editions boot and install just perfect (created by my computer ) so its not a computer problem  ,, when i put the media on my computer (dvd/usb) and restart and boot on it ,, its shows me the windows logo ,, after 20 seconds (too much)
    it shows the ring , and then it reboots the computer (2/10 tries it manages to go in the language selection screen ,, but when i click next  ,, and then i click install now button ,, it reboots again) what is going wrong , and how can i fix it (where
    should i make that bootable media ?) i have bought the windows from dreamspark ,, so i use a official iso and serial key 

    Hi,
    This is not license problem, in my opinion, it's more relate with hardware and their driver problem.
    Firstly, it would be better to contact the manufacture to identify if your computer support Windows 8.1 X64 edition.
    Secondly, if your former system was not removed, try to access into the system and upgrade BIOS editon, after that, try to reinstall the system again for test.

  • HT203909 Why can't you provide specific instructions here about how to make the USB drive bootable?  The article referenced is not dedicated to Bootcamp--too long, too many options.  How do you make it bootable?

    Why can't you provide specific instructions here in HT203909 (Boot Camp: Creating an ISO image from a Windows installation DVD) about how to make the USB drive bootable?  The article referenced for partitioning the drive is not dedicated to Bootcamp--too long, too many options.  How do you make it bootable?

    If your BC Assistant shows the option to create a USB Installer, it automatically is marked as bootable. There is no need to have manual intervention to make a bootable USB. Once the process is manually modified, it is supported by the person modifying it.
    You have two or three options (depending on your Mac Model).
    1. Create USB... - Use a USB2 flash drive, which is erased and formatted. If your Mac supports ISOs then BCA will prompt for the Media. Any Mac which does not have a built-in Optical drive will support an ISO. There are specific Mac models which support both, DVD and USB based installation.
    2. Download Software from Apple servers...
    3. Install Windows...
    Are any additional instructions really necessary?
