  1. So, If I install this on a blank hard drive and install it into my mac, will it work?
  2. I'm running MacBook Pro Mid-2009 (Aluminum Unibody). This worked perfectly. Thank you!
  3. could you use an sd card?
  4. dude my disk utility looks nothing like urs. this is fucked
  5. brilliant thanks .. couldn't get my password in terminal for ages .. i had CAP-LOCKS on.. lol
  6. I installed a new SSD in a late 2008 13" Macbook 5,1. I created a bootable USB following this video. When I restart and hold option to boot from the USB nothing happens (gray screen remains gray). When I insert this same USB into my newer (Mid 2011 MacBook Pro) MacBook and attempt to boot from USB it displays as a boot option.

    I also have a bootable OSX 11.11 on different USB that shows as a boot option in the older MacBook (unfortunately that OS is too new and won't run on the old com) so I'm completely lost as to what the issue is. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
  7. i cannot seem to partition my usb drive
  8. pendrive cannot open after convert mac bootable. please help??
  9. It won't allow me to put in my password what's going on
  10. Awesome detail....thanks a million.
  11. Erasing USB with GUID scheme makes UniBeast say "I need at least a usb of 7gb hfs-partitioned", but if I erase it with MBR scheme it detects it normally, does MBR erasing have any problem in the future ?

    Note: my usb stick is 8gb
  12. Can you ever return your bootable thumb drive back to normal after doing this?
  13. cant you just drag the installer app to the usb drive? I know i've done something like that before.
  14. the command those not work
  15. I have el captain and my disk utility is completely different, I dont get the options you present!?
    What OSX are you using?

    Thanks for the help....
  16. Worked perfect. Thanks you!
  17. can i erase the usb again after all is complete?
  18. Thanks very much. Best video on youtube. Found this eventually and all successfully!
  19. Hi man! My OS is Snow leopard 10.6.8, when I follow the video steps I see this error: "Failed to start erase of disk due to error (-9999, 0). A error occurred erasing the disk." what's up? Can you help me please?
  20. keep getting the below message. any ideas? using an 8gb flash.
