N!tr@m Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Hey, I've tried to install iAtkos v7 onto my usb-stick, but the install always fails. Isn't it possible to install it onto an usb-stick and should it work if i installed it on a sata-hdd? (I don't want to buy one when it isn't going to work ) Thanks, N!tr@m Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/210707-iatkos-v7-install-on-usb-stick/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limpster Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 do u want to install Mac from the iAtkos DVD onto an USB Stick? do u want to have a copy of the iAtkos DVD on your USB Stick (and boot from the Stick?) sry, i didnt get it completely. But afaik it is NOT possible (sadly) to install Mac from any Media to an external Device such as an USB Stick or an external USB HDD (Firewire should work). The only workaround is: Install Mac on an internal HDD and then Back it up via Disk Utility onto an USB Stick. Maybe this will work and allow you to boot from an external Media (with my Original Macbook Pro and a Backup of the whole system onto an external USB HDD i could boot it up and use it without the internal HDD). if you just want to boot the iatkos from USB Stick, just use Diskutil and clone the DMG Image on the USB Stick (but i guess that is not what u wanted to know) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/210707-iatkos-v7-install-on-usb-stick/#findComment-1409463 Share on other sites More sharing options...

gloveofpower Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 I want to install Mac from the iAtkos DVD onto an USB Stick. That's it. Thank you! is it just the version that he mentions which cannot be installed via USB stick, or is it all versions of Mac OS? I am curious about that too.
