Got a new flash drive? See this step-by-step tutorial on how to format your USB drive on Mac (macOS 10.13 High Sierra) and PC (Windows 10). WizBurn - Burn ISO File to USB/DVD on Mac OS X. Just 3 simple steps to burn ISO to USB/DVD on Mac OS X without getting errors. It works for both GPT (UEFI boot) and MBR (legacy BIOS/CMS boot) modes. It supports all types of system files- FAT. FAT 32, and NTFS. Supports both windows and Mac OS X.

- Using dd to write the ISO contents directly to the USB absolutely does not work. - Using any other method to copy the ISO contents also doesn't work. Both are true for any distribution of Linux. The core problem is that how an ISO is converted into bootable USB is not the same from one distribution to another. The best option is unetbootin: Unetbootin is an automated tool that will take many different ISOs (it isn't guaranteed to work if you use it with an ISO that isn't on its approved list, though, so you might want to check the compatibility first) and makes bootable flash drives off them. But there is no OS X version of it, AFAIK, so the USB must be created using unetbootin in a Windows or Linux environment. If that's not a possibility, you can use OS X, and follow tutorials appropriate to your distribution, such as the ones at pendrivelinux.com, but you'll have to find an alternative way to put a bootable MBR on it and syslinux it.

(FWIW, I know I've done this at least once -- it's even possible to make a bootable USB of an Intel Linux distribution purely from a PPC Mac. I had to do this because I inadvertently completely jacked the Ubuntu installation on my Eee to the point that I could not recover, and I didn't happen to have a working bootable flash drive for it at that moment). Since Unetbootin came out, I pretty much avoid any other method if at all possible.

'but you'll have to find an alternative way to put a bootable MBR on it' I'm using Mac OS X 10.4.11 on an iBook G4 and in Disk Utility under the Partition tab, if you click options, there is a choice of partitions scheme, you can choose Master Boot Record (MBR) 'To use the disk to start up DOS and Windows computers' Things are easy on a Mac To get around the 'busy' thing when using dd: In Disk Utility: Unmount the volume of the usb drive, not the drive itself. I recently used this to put an.img of Ubuntu Netbook Remix on a usb flash drive following Only change I had to make was to use 'bs=1024' instead of 'bs=1M' for the blocksize argument in dd And you can get the /dev/disk? Number from Disk Utility too, select drive and press apple+i. I've been reading forums all over to try to create a bootable USB version of slax with my Macbook. I'm running 10.5.8. Up to this point I have a configured USB with a FAT32 partition and I have both the slax-6.1.2 iso and the raw files extracted from the slax-6.1.2.tar.
