The unmount command does NOT delete ANY files, and you can NOT use unmount to unmount the system drive or any other drive that is currently in use by the system, so it will not cause the problems claimed here. The unmount command can only unmount drives the user themselves mounted, and as the system drive was mounted by root prior to the user even being logged in, it will NOT let you unmount the drive. In addition, stands for block size, and the value it takes is NOT in milliseconds! The "m" signifies megabytes, and acts as a multiplier for the numeric argument, in this case 1048576. This has caused a lot of confusion (and failed attempts at using the command for people commenting below. does not mean "if" is stands for "input file". Likewise, is not "of", it is "output file". does not mean "ignore the stuff before it". That doesn't even make any sense! It simply is a shorthand for the path to the user's home folder.
Explained well, Thanks for the video. 2 Things missed here to mention. 1 is the time it takes after entering password and other to find path. 1. It takes some where 15-30 mins(depends on pendrive write(transfer) speed i guess). 2. To find path go to .ios file and right click release and press options key and you can see PathName
Worked great, thanks. Please note I had to put in my password and as you type it doesn't show but it is clearly working in the background. Be patient and it will complete in about 20 mins. Thanks
“/Desktop/ISO\ files/win10...” not sure about his part. Is your ISO file in a folder that’s named “ISO” on the desktop? Or is the ISO file in a folder that’s named “ISO file”? Because the folder name in terminal and folder name of the actual folder is different. Or, is it a folder named “Desktop” on the Desktop, then a folder name “ISO” or “ISO file” in that “Desktop” folder on the desktop, then the ISO file in the “ISO” or “ISO file” folder? Thanks man this is really helpful!
After he pressed enter on the final command it appears to be done instantly. Mine required a password first then displayed blank command line, took about 20 minutes and never actually said it was done. If I tried to close my terminal window early it would say ‘dd sudo’ is still busy working. Eventually (about 20 mins) it let me close the window then re opened terminal to enter the eject command. Still haven’t tested it but the files appear to have transferred like he said.
@@GunnerTierno After testing it, it did not work for me either. I resulted to : appleinsider.com/articles/18/01/18/tips-how-to-make-windows-10-install-media-on-macos-high-sierra which worked.
@@Twitchpro Tested the method in the above video, the Pend drive went "unreadable" for me even after 20 long minutes' procedure. Do you have the same link for Windows 7 as well? Really appreciate your help.
For others with this error, I got this too, when I tried to drag the mounted USB onto the terminal window to try to save time, but once I followed all the instructions, it worked fine. You have to unmount the disk and refer to it as 'rdisk3' or whatever disk number is you saw in the list.
I followed his steps but a couple things I'd like to note. Copying and pasting the pathname does not work because it has the /Users/janedoe/Users prefix which you don't need in the terminal to map out the directory. You will come back with error "No such file or directory". The rest of the pathname should be correct. I was also prompted for a password which you just type in (even if it doesn't physically show up). Currently waiting for the disk to burn but did want to say the video was helpful! If you slowed down a bit I think it would help your audience keep up. I found myself pausing and rewinding a lot to make sure I typed in the commands correctly. Thanks for the help!
Can someone help please? I tried this with Windows XP SP3 iso-file. It did put something on my USB similar to this, but when I try to install from the USB I get error "disk boot failure. insert system disk and press enter". Anyone who can help me here? what did I do wrong? PS: I am trying to install Windows XP on a completely new Hard Drive, never before used.
this worked for me. it took 20 mins. Qu. SHOULD I "mount" so I can then boot Mac into Linux?? Here is what I entered: MACNAMEPro:~ me$ sudo dd if=/Volumes/VVxxxxxMHD/VxxxxxxX/ubuntu-20.04-desktop-amd64.iso of=/dev/disk3s6 Password: 5303232+0 records in 5303232+0 records out 2715254784 bytes transferred in 781.374243 secs (3474973 bytes/sec)
I get error "dd: unknown operand files/Win10_21H1_English_x64.iso"......I have the iso file in a folder on my desktop label ISO files. This is the command I am using. Sudo dd bs=1m if=/Desktop/ISO files/Win10_21H1_English_x64.iso of=/dev/rdisk4 .... What am i doing wrong?
@@soundscapes6914 I mean it dpeends - it's not super fast though. In general anything on CD DVD is signifacntly slow cocmapred to what most people are used to now. So when you actually use this DVD you'll be like "why hans't it loaded yet" sometimes it takes 10 min to lad of the DVD
After I copied and pasted the path, I hit return and this was the result: Terminal went nuts, streams of gobbledeegook and error sounds until it finally froze. prntscr.com/kxyt04 When I right-clicked on the .iso there was no option to copy 'as pathname' - only 'copy' So, the error probably ensued from there. Why Finder didn't give me the same 'copy as pathname option as seen in the tutorial I don't know. Running OSX High Sierra.
Right click on file and hold alt down. It will then show copy pathname. Took me a while to figure that out because it was hard to understand him speaking so fast.
Your Explanation is confusing, This is the reason you shouldn't talk t much but just go straight to the point. You were jumping some vital part of the explanation. makes no sense
This is a horrible made video. You could’ve indicated approximately the length of time it takes before you eject the drive! Should have a little more clarity on the paths I eventually figure it out but I came here on RUclips to find the easy way! I think you should make this video over and do it the right way. It has potential of reaching the masses!
Thanks for watching this video!

Thanks, man. For a second, I was worried it had crashed, since this guy sped up the video or skipped the wait.
I wasted an entire day because I couldnt find the way to burn flash drive on Mac, but you saved me all the trouble!!! Thank you so much man!
its taking a lot of time to burn the windows 10 iso. is the burn process slow?
Thanks dude! Had to make a couple minor adjustments, but worked great. Got my ISO burned to USB. Truly appreciate your help.

Thank you!
This helped me out, thank you!
You definitely can teach things. Thanks a lot!
you hsould of made a copy paste thing
its so hard im getting many errors
dd = comes from "D"isk "D"ump, bs parameter means "B"lock "S"ize and usually is specified in bytes or K for Kbytes
mine wont recognize dd... dd: unknown operation..
Worked great, thanks. Please note I had to put in my password and as you type it doesn't show but it is clearly working in the background. Be patient and it will complete in about 20 mins. Thanks
thanks, it worked after a few tune-ups (I had to delete spaces in iso
filename etc..)... yey!
Worked like a charm. took up to 5 minutes :)

i think the backslash is there to make the command include the space in the path.

being an old time Linux guy, my guess is that "dd" (a proper Unix command) stands for something like 'duplicate data' or such
mac and linux have very similar kernels most of the commands work the same
you can also see the drive path by checking in disk utility. It'll show you, you don't have to plug it out

It is not FAT 32 and my BIOS wont recognize it. Any idea how to solve that?
ayo he got the mw4 on the macbook nice
Process was smooth, but asking for password, help!
Enter your login password. It is because of sudo. Don't worry it won't harm your computer, at least if you enter the write disk name.
this doesn't work, says it doesn't find the files even though they are there right on my desktop... ffs

How do I install a Iso file on MacBook from usb
why don't you pasta that long command in the description like wtf!?
dont work for windows flash
Speed: 0,75. Learned at least to clean the usb using terminal, but not yet to burn my NOOBS to the USB.
It is ok code but first must login as super user - e.g. sudo -i
simply running the command through sudo accomplishes the same thing
right click on DMG file. Click burn. Saved you 6 minutes. You're welcome.
only useful if you burn to dvd disk, not usb, which i think is the point here.
dd: bs: illegal numeric value
Then you, um, entered an illegal numeric value.
I'll make a guess and say, maybe, bs=1ms
copy paste text please
Just use boot camp assistant...
Nope, not working anymore in newer MacOS versions...
@@bbredewold tf worked on my yosemite
Wtf is up with all the changes to the OS? It's like you have to relearn how to use the operating system to do basic things like burning ISOs. Ffs
slow down dude !!!
why not just use burn with disk utility instead of the command line bullshit?
I AM SORRY BUT THIS PROCEDURE DOESN'T WORK
