skiabox Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I downloaded the windows 10 technical preview iso and then I burned it to a usb stick using my macbook pro's Boot Camp Assistant. The problem is that when I am trying to use it on my sony vaio vgn-fw12z laptop (I had set in the bios to boot first from usb) I only get a blinking cursor. Any ideas? Thank you.

mnfesq Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I'm not sure why you would want to use Boot Camp Assistant to make your USB installer. Take a look at this and see if it helps: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/windows-usb-dvd-download-tool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skiabox Posted March 28, 2015 Author Share Posted March 28, 2015 I've formatted sony vaio so I don't have a windows system any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yayiin Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 try remake the USB in MAC OS with dd command like this : dd if=ubuntu-11.04-server-amd64.iso of=/dev/disk6 bs=8192 change this "disk6" for your USB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 And change the "ubuntu-11.04-server-amd64.iso" for your image name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redneck Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Windows 10 is UEFI _WX just like OSX. has to be installed on GUID. I think Windows 10 only install from DVD ,unless you upgrade or burn to usb with windows to make it bootable. you need to install on 2nd drive, OSX first. 2 or 3 options 1: Try to convert ISO to cdr and burn it. 2: copy ISO to usb and burn to dvd with windows PC 3: get a copy of Win_XP portable. I have a usb with win XP portable > saved me many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graebags Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 If you have a working Mac OS X machine and DVD burner, get a copy of Simply Burns (Mac) or whatever you use, and burn the ISO direct to dvd as per attached example. Alternately get a friend to make the usb or dvd installer on their machine, maybe? 1. On the Simply Burns 'Starting Points' screen choose Burn Image. SB_iso1.tiff 2. Select your ISO image and DVD burner and click Burn. SB_iso.tiff Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
