Dannn Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Is there any way of doing this? I would like to take the osx 10.4.9 Uphuck installer and dd it onto a thumb drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(MoC) Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Unless you have like a 5 GB thumb drive, do not even bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLitsx Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 THe installing will be so slow... flashdrives aren't built for that, and reads soooo much slower then a dvd drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dermatea Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I thought the question was on how to convert an .ISO to an .IMG file, so why is everyone talking about flash drives? This is very simple. All you need is an ISO editor like UltraISO and a mounting tool. Just mount the .ISO file, and open up UltraISO. Choose "Make CD/DVD Image...", select your virtual drive, then check the option ".img (CloneCD)" and click "Make". There, you have successfully converted an .ISO to an .IMG file. I actually do this all the time to convert Alcohol .MDF, MDS files into .ISO files just for the sake of simplicity (and I hate Alcohol). ISOs are the standard, yet everyone insists on using some obscure format or another like .UIF (used by MagicISO) and .DAA (used by PowerISO), seemingly just for the sake of annoying me. However, I'm not sure if CloneCD .img files will be compatible with Apple Disk Utility but it's worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 They are talking about thumb drives because the OP (Dann) wants to convert the Uphuck ISO into an IMG and dd it onto his flash drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
