Using Rufus to create bootable USB Drives for Cisco ISE 3495 upgrade

I will give a try in the lab but I just wanted to know if somebody else tried this option before.

Firstable I have to said that I received a brand new 3495 Cisco ISE with version 1.3.0.876 already installed on it BUT my deployment is running 1.2.1.198 patch 3 so I had to downgrade that box.
Hi Saurav, using Rufus did NOT work. I got an installation error so I found that using DAEMON TOOL Lite (trial version), I created a virtual DVD drive on my Win 7 Laptop which pointed to the ISO for version 1.2.1.198. Then I could make the downgrade with no issues. This is a Cisco Appliance not VM.
I think the procedure indicated by cisco in the following link is INCOMPLETE:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/ise/1-2/installation_guide/ise_ig.pdf
I will post some additional screenshots required on that link when you are using CIMC and upgrading/downgrading the ISE using External/Virtual DVD.
Important to say that I found this mechanism using Virtual DVD the easiest one instead of the bootable flash drive.

  • How to create bootable USB drive for a PC on a Mac?

    So in short I have a full PC build and a copy of Windows 7, but no optical drive to run the Windows 7 disk on, so I'm going to need to boot from a USB and the only means I have of creating a bootable USB is my Macbook running Yosemite.
    So my question is how do I go about doing this? Please tell me it's as easy as selecting 'Create a Windows 7 or later version install disk' in Bootcamp

    On a Mac create an ISO from the DVD and put it in a folder. Run BCA (Bootcamp Assistant) and use it to create a USB2 which will contain both the ISO and BC drivers. Uncheck the last "Install/Remove..." option, if you do not intend to install Windows on Mac.
    Macs have no read-write NTFS drivers (Apple provides a read-only drivers), so the partition on Macs created by BCA is FAT, which is converted by the Windows installer to NTFS.
    Please also see https://help.apple.com/bootcamp/mac/5.0/help/#/bcmp173b3bf2 and http://imgur.com/a/DuGxr#0.
    The USB2 has an AutoUnattend.xml which will silently install BC drivers, but these drivers are intended for Macs to support Mac-specific hardware.

  • I am confused by the installation step that requires you to create a bootable USB drive for windows installation.  What is the ISO image and why has it selected my Passport backup drive as the destination disc?

    In the bootcamp installation it asks me to create a bootable USB drive for Windows Installation.  To do so, I must choose an ISO image.  What is that?  When I click "choose" I don't understand the options presented.  Is this the destination of the partition or where Windows will reside on the Mac?  Why does it also indicate the the destination disk si my WD Passport Back up drive?

    OK, so I have an apple superdrive hooked up to my mini (along with my Passport back up drive).  I also have  the discs for both 64bit and 32bit Windows along with the product key.  I am still not sure what to do when faced with the options after "choose".

    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

  • Create bootable flash drive for Windows 8 in Boot Camp

    I am running a Windows 8-based marine navigation program ("Coastal Explorer") in Boot Camp, on MacBook Air.  I would like to create a bootable flash drive for emergencies. Should it have Maverick or Windows 8 OS?  - or do I partition the key drive for both, with the Windows partition also containing a copy of the navigation software and maps for extra insurance? I guess the first question is, "Is this possible?" Then I would need to find information on how to create such a drive. All advice appreciated.

    Windows drivers and Mac drivers have nothing to do with each other. So that's a no on your question.

  • Can i make a bootable usb drive for os x yosemite on a windows pc?

    I have a Macbook Pro 13" 2009 that I've installed a new hard drive in.  How do I make an OS X Yosemite bootable USB drive (I have a 16 GB available)?  I'm traveling, so all I have with me is a Windows 8 laptop.  I have an iMac at home, so I expect I'll be able to do it easily there, but I have time now...  Thanks.

    No. You need a Mac for that.

  • HT201372 I am trying to create a bootable USB drive for Yosemite and the terminal is telling me /Volumes/Untitled is not a valid volume mount point.  HELP!!!

    I erased the USB drive and partitioned it as directed in order to create a bootable drive.  When I type in the sudo command in the terminal, it is telling me that /Volumes/Untitled is not a valid volume mount point.  HELP!!!

    FYI
    my process just completed:  here is what I see when it is done... (the first you saw in my earlier post.  It took about 15-20 minutes.
    To continue we need to erase the disk at /Volumes/Recovery.
    If you wish to continue type (Y) then press return: y

  • I want to create a USB drive for Mountain Lion and have no discs

    I have a nice shiny new 27: iMac and was hoping to create a USB boot drive in case I need it. The iMac does not come with a disk drive and Mountain Lion is purchased via the App Store, so there are no disks with which to build the boot drive. I tried downloading Mountain Lion again from the App Store, but it tells me Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer. (yes, the computer that is running Mountain Lion right now)
    iTunes Support is not very helpful. They keep telling me that I can't make a boot drive and are unable to help me download if from the App Store.
    Surely Apple has created a way to build a boot drive in the case of emergency. There will be no way to defrag my hard drive if I am unable to boot from the USB drive.

    You have one on your iMac, the recovery partition. Your iMac is not compatible with the App Store version so don't try.
    Install OSX on to a thumb drive if you want, it's a waste of time compared to using Recovery.

  • [SOLVED]Using Unetbootin to create bootable USB

    Hello All--
    I am trying to create a bootable USB using Unetbootin. However, Unetbootin keeps presenting the error that the usb device is not mounted. At the same time, I am able to access the drive with a file manager, so it must be mounted in some way. Anyone have any ideas?
    BTW, mount /dev/sdb1 returns:
    mount: can't find /dev/sdb1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab

    Perhaps..... cd to /mnt...create a directory such as ...mkdir /mnt/md......
    Then run ....mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/md.....

  • Using Time Machine and external USB drive for multiple Macs

    I just bought a 1.5TB external portable drive.  I have 4 macs in the household that might have about 400 - 500 GB of total HD capacity for the four of them.  I am very confused on whether to create a separate partition for each mac, or let Time Machine manage the entire, single-partition drive.
    The reason I ask is because I have run into issues with a smaller external HD where it didnt seem to know to remove old backups to make room for new ones.  But, its' possible the 750 GB drive was too small to do what it needed to do.
    So, I am looking for some definitive information on the best way to do this.  Obviously, i'd rather leave the 1.5TB as a single partition, and hope (and expect) Time Machine to manage the backups of the four macs in such a way that it can properly make room as backups are added to the drive.
    THoughts?

    Use a 1TB Time Capsule to backup wirelessly and a FW800 external drive for speed in case I need to reinstall. Therefore having 2 backups?
    You can do that, but not simultaneously. TM only has one destination a a time; you can back up to the TC, then select the external HD via TM Preferences, then switch back.
    I've been down the road of using SD (cloning) and am ready to move on to another backup strategy. Cloning works fine but it dedicates a drive 100% of the time where TM doesn't.
    I don't know what you mean by that. I use CarbonCopyCloner (similar to SD) in addition to full TM backups, so I have two separate, independent backups, on two separate drives, and get the advantages of both. You can partition an external drive (but not a Time Capsule), so you could have your clone on one partition, and other things in one or more additional partitions (I do that as well). As long as the "clone" partition is the same size as your internal HD (or at a minimum, at least 15% larger than the amount of data on it), you can use the rest of the space for anything else.
    See #5 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip* at the top of this forum for detailed instructions on setting-up a drive for Time Machine. The same procedure works for setting one up for a clone and other partition(s), too.

  • Bootcamp can't create a bootable USB drive, only supports 64 bit version?

    I got a windows 8.1 ISO file downloaded onto a FAT usb drive, but whenever I try to create a USB drive for installation, an error message comes up saying that only a 64 bit version is supported. As far as I know though, there wasn't any specification when I downloaded the ISO file from the PC that this was 32 versus 64 bit. I'm running a Mid 2012 Macbook pro 15" with Maverick 10.9.2. Has anyone else had this issue and if so, how exactly do you solve this problem? I'm not a computer person so could you please give very specific step by step solutions if you have any solutions for this issue? Thanks so much!

  • Creating a recovery drive for a K430 computer

    Hello-I have a K430 desktop computer with a1TB HDD,12 GB Memory and Win8 64 bits. I used a !TB Seagate USB Drive for C drive backup and a 2GB Flash drive for Personal Document backup. I created a HDD image backup and a backup of my personal documents using the Lenovo procedure.. I understand that I need either a WIN8 disk or Recovery drive to boot and re-install my image file.
    I am having problems creating a Recovery Drive. I formatted the drive to NTFS and verified that the Flash Drive was recognized by my computer. I searched for Recovery Drive.exe and it appeared. However, my flash drive did not appear on the Recovery window and the Next button remained greyed out. I will check and see if I have a recovery partition.Have you developed a fix for this problem? If so, please let me know. Thanks.

  • "Your bootable USB drive could not be created" "Boot Camp only supports 64-bit Windows installation on this platform. Please use an ISO file for 64-bit Windows installation."

    I try to install windows7 system on my macbook air, which version is 10.8.5. When I open the bootcamp, it let me to choose a windows ISO image, which I've already downloaded from this website: http://www.w7forums.com/threads/official-windows-7-sp1-iso-image-downloads.12325 /, it also asked me to select a USB drive, which is kingston that has 8GB. Then when I clicked "continue", it said that "Your bootable USB drive could not be created" "Boot Camp only supports 64-bit Windows installation on this platform. Please use an ISO file for 64-bit Windows installation." But actually the ISO image I downloaded is 64-bit windows7. I don't know why this would happen. Could someone help me please!!

    Thanks for your feedbakc Kiranjj!
    I identified the reason to be that the W8 installation file didn't download completely from a Mac OS-device. I downloaded from another Win-device and the moved the installation file with a USB-stick and then everything worked diectly! But thanks anyway.
