Creating a Windows bootable USB on OS X

[akil3sh]

I'm on OS X 10.9 and Bootcamp doesn't work on my hackintosh, says i have to update my bootrom to use the utility. I have another partition on the hard drive and I want to install windows on it, I have the ISO but no appropriate software or steps to make a bootable usb. Any help?

Windows7-USB-DVD-tool.exe é só pesquisar na net que vai achar essa funciona.

I'm on the Mac and that app obviously is for windows and not for OS X. Can Wineskin run these apps?

Steps To Achieve Victory

1. Download the ISO you want to use
2. Open Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities) 2.1 Navigate to the path where the .iso file is located 2.2 Use ls to list all the folders 2.3 cd [folder name] to dive in to folder or cd.. to go back the path
3. Convert .iso to .img using hdiutil:
   hdiutil convert -format UDRW -o /path/to/target.img /path/to/source.iso
4. Rename if OS X gave it a .dmg ending:
   mv /path/to/target.img.dmg path/to/target.img
5. Type diskutil list to get a list of currently connected devices
6. Insert USB drive you want to use
7. Run diskutil list again to see what your USB stick gets assigned eg - /dev/disk3
8. Run diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskN (where N is the number assigned to your USB stick, in previous example it would be 3)
9. Run sudo dd if=/path/to/target.img of=/dev/diskN bs=1m (if you get an error, replace bs=1m with bs=1M
10. Run diskutil eject /dev/diskN and remove your USB stick
11. The USB stick will now be ready to use

I got an error which says 

dd: Unknown operand 7.img. I renamed the image as windows 7.img and I got this message.

After converting to .img by renaming the extension, the image opened with no errors. Did that cause the error?

Had the same issue.

 

Rename the path to a shorter one ex: /volumes/download/windows/

 

and the image itself ex:  /volumes/download/windows/windows.img

 

PS 

 

7.Execute sudo dd if=/path/to/downloaded.img of=/dev/rdiskN bs=1m(replace /path/to/downloaded.img with the path where the image file is located; for example, ./ubuntu.img, /dev/rdiskN is faster than /dev/diskN). If you see the error dd: Invalid number `1m', you are using GNU dd. Use the same command but replace bs=1m with bs=1M.
