One question, you say that you need the OS in an ISO format, will it work if I have it on a.dmg format?

This recipe will explain how to make a USB Thumb Drive bootable with the OS X Lion Developer Preview installer on it and in turn allow you to install Lion on a Mac without an optical drive (ie Macbook Air line). We will need a copy of the installer dmg (not provided) and a 4GB USB Thumbdrive or Memorycard Reader w/memory card and a Mac to convert the dmg to a bootable usb thumb drive.

• Rufus is a utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives, such as USB keys/pendrives, memory sticks, etc. It can be especially useful for cases where: you need to create USB installation media from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, UEFI, etc.) you need to.
• Jul 10, 2018 In this tutorial we will show you step by step how to create ans make a bootable USB Flash Drive from a Mac OSX.DMG image file from Windows 10 (Sometimes called pen drive / thumb dive) so you.
• Dec 20, 2009 Is there a way i can take my snow leopard user DVD, and make a bootable USB out of it on Windows. My friends mac doesnt have a DVD drive. I already was able to rip it into a DMG file. So how can i take that and make it a bootable USB?

Requirements:

• – OS X Lion installation DMG (hint: file named: mac_os_x_10_7_11a390.dmg)
• – Mac running OS X Leopard or Snow Leopard
• – USB Thumbdrive or Memorycard Reader w/memory card (4GB mininum, data will be destroyed).

This guide lets you restore the .dmg installer file for OS X Lion onto a usb thumbdrive. We can then boot the USB Drive on our Mac to install OS X Lion from it. This is very handy for us Macbook Air users that do not have an external optical drive.

Guide:

1. On your Mac, open up Disk Utility. Click on the USB Drive on the left.

2. On the right pane, go to the Restore tab.

3. Click on the Browse button and locate the .dmg installer for OS X Lion. (ie mac_os_x_10_7_11a390.dmg)

4. Once you have it chosen, click and drag your USB Thumbdrive from the left pane to the Destination box. (ie THUMBDRIVE in the screenshot) and then click Restore

I recommend erasing the destination, so be sure to backup any data on the thumbdrive prior to this step! This will take a few minutes to do. Once its finished, you now have a bootable OS X Lion install thumbdrive (basically just like what the Macbook Air ships with).

5. Hold Option/Alt after your see the Apple logo appear and boot with the thumbdrive in your Mac.

Choose the USB Drive to install OS X Lion from your USB Thumbdrive!

• – I would recommend creating a separate partition for your OS X Lion installation as well.

NOTES:

– I have confirmed this working on a Macbook Air 11″, 2010, 1.6Ghz version.

One of the quirky things with OS X Lion is the lack of a install DVD. You see, Apple don’t really like DVDs. And you can’t blame them either. When was the last time you put a DVD or CD into your Mac? However, it’s nice to have a bootable DVD that features OS X Lion.

With a burnt OS X Lion DVD disc you will be able to reinstall Lion and easily install OS X Lion on any other Mac that you own.

It’s quiet easy to create a bootable DVD of OS X Lion (check out the below instructions and our video further down the page).

Step 1: Download OS X Lion from the Mac App Store

• Press and hold down on the option key on your keyboard, load up the Mac App Store.
• With option key still pressed, go to “Purchased” within the Mac App Store.
• Click on “Install”, enter your password, OS X Lion will now begin to download.

Depending on the speed of your broadband connection, it could take anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours to complete the 3.75GB download.

Step 2: Copy OS X Lion to your Desktop

Once the OS X Lion download has completed we need to find the necesscary files to burn to the DVD.

• In Finder, go to Applications and right click on Install Mac OS X Lion.app and select “Show Package Contents”.
• Go to Contents > Shared Support
• Copy InstallESD.dmg to your desktop

Step 3: Burn OS X Lion to a DVD

• Open up Disc Utility.app
• Put a blank DVD into your DVD drive.
• InstallESD.dmg should be listed in the left sidebar. If it is, simply click Burn within Disc Utility.
• If InstallESD.dmg does not appear, you can simply right click on the file from your desktop and click burn.

And that’s it. You have just created a bootable OS X Lion installation disc.

Step 4: Install OS X Lion

Once you have OS X Lion burnt to a DVD, you can install or re-install OS X Lion by putting the DVD disc into your DVD drive, and booting up your Mac with the option key pressed. You will then be brought to a screen like the one below where you should choose Mac OS X to boot from. This will start the OS X Lion installation process.
