Hello everyone~!
Today tutorial is for to make bootable usb for install some O.S(windows, linux, etc...)

First. You need os iso file likes ubuntu-14.04-server-i386.iso and usb stick (You can use external usb hard drive too).

Let's follow this steps.

Open your terminal and run this command.

hdiutil convert -format UDRW -o ubuntu-14.04-server-i386.img ubuntu-14.04-server-i386.iso

This command convert iso to img.
(It shoud be changed with your correct file name.)



Step 2. After run hdiutil command. See your file name. That has .dmg extension. We can change this with mv command. Like this.

mv ubuntu-14.04-server-i386.img.dmg ubuntu-14.04-server-i386.img 



 Step 3. run GUI disktuil or diskutil list command.
See disk identifier lisk diskX. Keep that X.




Step 4. Right click usb partition and click unmount menu. Just do unmount, don't eject.




 Step 5. You can see like this screen. Usb partition is disabled.



 Step 6. Run this command
sudo dd if=ubuntu-14.04-server-i386.img of=/dev/rdisk1 bs=1m
And waiting for finish this.

If finish this? You can usb this usb for bootable or install media.


If occur error. You use Grub dd maybe. Change 1m to 1M.
I hope you success for this!
