Re: Download Disk Creator For Mac
Linda Berens
I want to make a bootable USB stick on my ubuntu 19.04, the instructions tell me I should have the startup disk creator already installed but I don't. Can I download it from somewhere or is there an alternative?
Startup Disk Creator (usb-creator-gtk) can be started from the Dash by clicking on the Startup Disk Creator icon or from the terminal with the command usb-creator-gtk in all currently supported versions of Ubuntu, including Ubuntu 19.04.
However, now I'm trying to do the same with a Western Digital external USB portable hard disk (it's a disk proper, one of those that actually spin), and it is not even listed among the available devices in Startup Disk Creator.
I am having issues with permissions while trying to create a startup disk using Startup Disk Creator. I was able to accomplish this task by using UNetBootin but the disk it creates is failing to boot. Is there a way to start Startup Disk Creator from terminal as root?
I have used the copy (cp) command for this. It did take me a couple of tries, though. The trick that seemed to make the difference for me was to plug the usb drive in, format it as MBR, but not create any partitions. In Debian (Gnome), this is easy to do from gnome-disks (called simply Disks in the GUI, while the package name is gnome-disk-utility). It can also be done using the gparted GUI program. Of course, you will lose any data currently on the USB drive when you format it.
The package file of Install Disk Creator is extremely lightweight thus, you will be able to quickly load and install it into your macOS system in just a matter of seconds. Once you've launched the program, you will be greeted by a minimalist single-screen interface wherein tools are neatly organized. Designed to be intuitive and straightforward, the creation process of bootable disks is made as simple as possible to cater to all levels of users.
With these tools, the tasks are streamlined which also allows users that are not really familiar with this procedure to still make bootable macOS disks in under a minute. You will no longer need to apply additional settings or configurations to perform the tasks. On top of that, this software solution is self-contained which means it leaves no trace on your macOS, enabling you to do seamless uninstallation when you no longer need the service of this program.
If you have all these specifications, you can immediately proceed to make a bootable USB. The first thing you need to do is insert the flash disk into your macOS desktop and open this powerful tool. Then, choose the current OS you're using and press the 'RETURN' button. Afterwards, you will type in the administrator user password to start creating a bootable USB. The last step will only require you to wait until the process is finished.
Remarks:
"Could not write the disk image (/home/ptosis/Downloads/ubuntu-20.04.4-desktop-amd64.iso to the device (/dev/sdb)"
This may indicate that the USB stick is defective. Have you tried other operations with that USB stick, e.g. writing files to it?
Thank you everyone for responding. I had to uninstall and reinstall GSS 3.2 and I am now able to import those drivers into my boot disk. I don't know what happened but the long way seemed to be the short way as this was the first install of the product...
Two things spring to mind and neither are good. The Sierra Installer is corrupt and needs to re-downloaded a fresh with notation to use Safari as Other may not work. Further to Sierra on link supplied is " Safari downloads the following older installers as a disk image named InstallOS.dmg or InstallMacOSX.dmg. Open the disk image, then open the .pkg installer inside the disk image. It installs an app named Install [Version Name]. Open that app from your Applications folder to begin installing the operating system." Then try the Bootable Installer via Terminal
Well, I have Ubuntu 22.04, a proper usb, and I have download a Gallium.iso
When I start the startup disk creator, it recognize the usb stick, but when i go to click on the iso image, nothing. Should I mount it first?
Startup Disk Creator (USB-creator) is an official tool to create Live USBs of Ubuntu from the Live CD or from an ISO image. The tool is included by default in all releases after Ubuntu 8.04, and can be installed on Ubuntu 8.04. A KDE frontend was released for Ubuntu 8.10, and is currently included by default in Kubuntu installations. The KDE and Ubuntu frontend go under the names "usb-creator-kde" and "usb-creator-gtk", respectively.
To see what USB devices you can make into startup disks are listed under the Disk to use heading on the screen. To see what the device is named look under the Device column. To change what the device is labeled is under the Label column. To see the max size of the USB drive is under the Capacity column.
To see what startup isos have been added are in columns for the top of the startup disk. To see the image or drive path to the file look at the CD-Drive/Image column. To see what version of an operating system view the OS Version column. To see how big your image size actually is view the Size column.
To actually create the disk press the Make Startup Disk button. A dialog will appear asking if you want to write the disk image and all data will be lost to make the disk press the Yes button. Another dialog box will show up asking for your to enter your password to make sure it is you making this disk and then the image will be written with a progress bar. Once done you will get a dialog saying The installation is complete and an OK button.
I want to install Arch from a USB but can get "Startup Disc Creator" to recognize the Arch iso file.
I am running Ubuntu 21.04 and 20.04 on two different machines and have tried this on both with the same results.
I run the startup disc creator and with a USB stick inserted in a USB port. it sees the drive and I can select the iso file but it never appears in the creator. All other iso appear. Only the iso for Arch never appears. I tried downloading the iso a few times, so that's not the problem. (bad download.)
Is there a different way to create a bootable USB with Arch?
I can burn a DVD and that works, but the machine I want to install on does not have a DVD drive.
Not all additional boot disk options are accessible for all platforms. For example, Add Drivers section applies only to Windows Operating System, and is available for Windows target only.
Install Disk Creator helps you make a bootable disk you can use to install macOS on the intended machines. It supports creating the installer on any type of portable storage media, such as USB sticks.
My first thought was to create a bug on the issue. Even if I was going to fix it, I wanted to ensure that the issue was being tracked, and to see if anyone else had submitted a bug on the topic already. I was surprised when I went to the bug page, and found that the package had not been configured for bug reports yet. At this point, I was more frustrated than anything else, and had decided I was going to use dd to create the usb disk, but I wanted find out what the problem in the code was.
Active@ Boot Disk Creator helps you prepare a bootable CD/DVD/Blu-ray or USB Flash mass storage device that you can use to start a machine with a damaged hard drive and recover data, recover partitions, wipe or erase data, create a disk image or repair security access issues.
If you've created ISO Image file, you can burn it up later on, either using our free Active@ ISO Burner utility (www.ntfs.com/iso-burning.htm), or have a disk burning utility that you prefer to use, use it to burn the ISO on a disk. Section 1.3.2 has instructions for some other utilities.

If you encounter an error, Access is denied, which means that your USB is used by another program, please close all these programs, or use diskpart to clean the USB first.
Using a Removable USB HDD and neither PartIMGMapper (No devices are supported. The program will exit now.) or CloverBootDiskCreator (There are no hard disk on your PC is supported to repartition. This tool only supports repartition for removable devices such as USB, SD Cards.) work.. any ideas?
I followed everything after using the Partition image mapper also tried clover boot disc creator when I check the USB in Windows theres only clover in the USB no installer same when I reboot the computer I see the clover but there is no installer option. Please help
Ubuntu 8.10 is shipping next week with a horde of updated packages including the Linux 2.6.27 kernel, X.Org 7.4, Pidgin 2.5, GIMP 2.6, and many other packages that have experienced significant milestones since the April release of Ubuntu 8.04. On top of these updated packages from the community, Canonical has been working on a few desktop Linux innovations of their own. For instance, arriving late into the Intrepid Ibex release cycle is a USB start-up disk creator. In this article we are providing a quick look at this utility to easily spin your own USB disk images.
