Windows 10: Creating a USB WIN10 installer on a MAC

Hi guys,

Help me Reddit, you're my last hope!

I've been trying for hours to make a WIN10 installation USB (a 16 gig one) on a MAC. MACs are fucking cursed machines, unfortunately, that's what my workplace issued me. I tried through Terminal, with Unetbootin, or just copying the entire directory to the USB. I tried older versions (though I haven't tried 32 bit). All to no avail. I keep getting a message saying "Missing Operating System" on my PC.

Please, any advice? I'm totally lost and have no clue what to do next

Installing windows off of a USB stick

Step By Step from vista:
From admin cmd prompt

1. diskpart
1a. list disk
2. select disk 1 (replace 1 with your usb drive)
3. clean
4. create partition primary
5. select partition 1 (replace 1 with your usb drive)
6. active
7. format fs=fat32
8. assign
9. exit

Copy Windows Vista's DVD ROM content to the Flash Drive

xcopy d:\*.* /s/e/f e:\ (d being your vista cd and e being your usb stick)

And that's it, boot off your usb disk

 

Create a boot USB using a mac

Hello,

I've just built a new machine and I need to install Windows on it. I am trying to create a boot USB but only have a mac to create it, is this possible? A lot of the tutorials seem to be to create a boot usb to install windows ON the mac. That isn't what
I want to do. I just want a bootable USB that will boot on the new computer?

 

Windows 10 USB boot

Hi there, am not a windows 10 expert. I have a pc in the bedroom on windows 10, I messed up the bootloader trying to fix the xp on that system.

System wont boot, trying to repair via win 10 usb installer.

Downloaded the media creation tool to install windows 10 installer on usb stick. Not compatible with a host of usb sticks I have. Tried the usb sticks that others use, but I think they use rufus; as the media creation tool by win 10 does not detect the usb stick.

So quick question, the win10 machine i am trying to repair the bootloader is a win7 upgraded to win10.
If i were to use the usb win10 installer to "repair installation" does the version of the iso downloaded via the media creation tool matter?

There is three options:
Windows 10
Windows 10 Home
Windows 10 N

Also is there a step by step instead of using rufus as I want to try an alternative method of creating a usb win 10 installer. Preferably with more compatibility.

System is a asus sabertooth 990 (r2?) with AMD phenom X 6.

Also is there any other software I can load onto the usb that can repair the bootloader easily?
That would be the ideal alternative. Thanks
