vividcode Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I have iAtkos L2 dvd perfectly made to boot. However due to some weird media limitation - I fail to get past entire installation - it freezes at random points. (Most of the time, I get past disk utility. Also tried to remove all customizations except fakesmc and chameleon.) Now I suspect it is my dvd drive which is incapable of carrying it through, and I want to give my usb drive a try. However I don't have mac installed anywhere so don't know how to create bootable usb? Can I use my bootable dvd to create bootable usb using my target machine? [Note that this target machine is totally formatted with mac os journeled, but it has not gone past that ie installation freezes when 8 minutes are pending] If anyone knows how to create this usb, or even knows how to get rid of this freeze, will be great help, I am stuck with this since > 1 week and no progress. thanks for reading! -vC Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279589-create-bootable-usb-from-bootable-l2-dvd-without-installing-lion/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

vividcode Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 What kind of freezing? After I quit customize screen, I press Install. At this point or anytime after this, I get to see that mouse can't move, there is no HDD/DVD light blinking, neither the keyboard works. Even if I leave my PC for an hour, nothing happens. Freeze happens irrespective of customize options I choose (removed all except fakesmc), irrespective of dvd format I chose (img, dmg, expanded dmg) I am not able to get past '8 minutes remaining' - and till then it installs about 1.6 GB content on the formatted partition. And yes, my config is dell vostro 1500: Intel Core 2 duo, Integrated Intel 965 graphics, ms keyboard and synaptic mouse.
