DVD’s are out of the game now. Today flash storages are ruling the world. SSDs USB and M.2 these are the kind of storage that is broadly being used today, and the growth of these are unimaginable in our modern world. The Operating Systems, without an operating system the computer is just a piece of machine. There are more operating systems available; the top 3 are Windows, Mac OS, and Ubuntu. To install these on our computer, we were using DVD in past couple of years and Damm it is too slow. Here, the flash storage takes the lead because they can transfer files faster than DVDs and Mechanical Hardrive. Now we are using USB to install operating systems. We can also carry the operating systems on our Pendrive and use it on every computer. To install OS, we had to make Bootable USB that is why this article is here.

Again from the left sidebar right click on the USB drive and select restore with disk image. Now browse to the location where the Mac OS system image file is located and click ok to load it. Click Yes to create the macOS USB bootable media. If you want to create a bootable macOS bootable disk, the first step is to burn DMG to USB or DVD. However, native support for DMG files is only available on Apple's desktop operating system. For Windows or Linux, you will need to use different methods.
Part 2: How to Burn DMG to USB (Bootable) via DMG Editor on Mac. UUByte DMG Editor is a versatile application that can help you burn converted DMG files to a USB drive. The interface is very simple, and all you need to do is click a few times and the job is done for you.
Installing Windows and Ubuntu is easy. The benefit of using USB for installing an operating system is that it is faster and error free. There are various types of USB is available such as USB 2.0, USB 3.0, USB 3.1 and USB-C. USB 2.0 is very slower device whereas USB 3.0 and above is very faster so here I recommend you to use USB 3.0 and above to install the Operating System. To install an OS, we need to create a bootable pen drive else it will not detect on the computer BIOS. So here we walk through the steps to make bootable USB on both Mac and Windows operating systems.
What We Need To Create Bootable USB
- A computer that has Windows or Ubuntu or Mac installed in it.
- 8GB or above Pendrive
- Operating System Files(That can download from their official websites)
- Two applications(Rufus and UNetbootin)
Precautions
- Backup all your files from the pen drive.
- Make sure that The OS files are verified (Damage, file missing, Unknown format)
- Download Rufus and UNetbootin only from the given links or from their official sites.
On Windows OS
To make bootable USB drive we need an application called Rufus. It can create bootable USB for both BIOS and UEFI systems also it can create bootable USB of several operating systems such as Windows, Ubuntu, Linux, etc. Creating bootable USB using Rufus is a natural process because it is a portable application so that we don’t have to install it on our computer. UNetbootin is also supporting in Windows, but I found that Rufus is far better than UNetbootin on Windows but in Mac, UNetbootin shows off. Let’s begin.
- Download Rufus and ISO file on your computer.
- Connect USB Drive on the computer.(Make sure to copy all the files from your pen drive else Rufus will delete the files.)
- Open Rufus. Here you can see your pen drive that is selected
- Select Your ISO file from the app. Click on the little Disk icon to select your ISO.
- Choose the BIOS mode to install. To install in UEFI mode with GPT partition scheme then select GPT partition Scheme for UEFI. If you don’t need UEFI, then choose the first option.
- Click on start button; it begins the process.
- After the progress bar reached at the end, You can remove your pen drive, and it is ready to Go.
Note – When using UEFI partition the whole HDD must be formatted in the targeted system so make sure to backup your HDD before installing Windows.
Rufus
On Mac OS
You can install Windows on your Mac without creating anything, for that Mac has an application called Bootcamp. If you want to install windows on another system so here we have to use UNetbootin application. UNetbootin can make your pen drive bootable for any operating systems also it provides a download option for downloading open source operating systems such as Ubuntu, FreeDOS, etc. UNetbootin won’t support for making bootable USB for macOS. To install Mac OS on Intel-based PC’s we should use the Hacintosh version of Mac OS. Let’s begin the process.
- Connect USB to the computer
- Open UNetbootin and Select an operating system (You can download it or manually choose an OS image.)
- If you are downloading, then it will take a while to complete.
- When the process is completed, you can remove the pen drive and install it on your system.
Note – In UNetbootin you can’t select boot option. It already has both UEFI GPT and BIOS MBR mode built into it, so you have to manually turn on UEFI in your BIOS settings to boot USB into UEFI mode
Conclusion
These are the best way to make bootable USB for media installation. There are more apps available for creating bootable USB drive, but the easiest and fastest way is to use these apps. If you have any suggestions or doubts mention me in the comment box below, Have a nice day.
A DMG disk image file is Apple's container format for capturing entire drives or disks, similar to ISO for other platforms like Windows. It consists of data blocks that represent a physical disc. If you're on a Windows machine, you're limited in what you can do with DMG files. That's why you need third-party utilities to create a bootable DVD from DMG on Windows. This article explains two different methods to burn DMG files to amake bootable macOS installation DVD in Windows.
Method 1: How to Create Bootable DVD from DMG (Command Prompt)
This approach utilizes a tool called DMG2IMG, which converts DMG file into ISO, the universally more compatible archive format. This ISO file is then burned using a command line execution in Command Prompt. You don't really need any experience with disk images or command line work, but it will certainly help should something go wrong. If you're not comfortable with any of this, you can skip to Method 2, which showcases a powerful but user-friendly tool that does it all for you. But first, let's see how the Command Prompt method of creating a bootable DVD from DMG works.
Note: The older version of DMG2IMG is called DMG2ISO. Although the download is available in the link provided in Step 1 below, it is recommended that you use DMG2IMG instead. The utility has the ability to convert DMG into both ISO and IMG, based on your needs.
Step 1. Install DMG2IMG on a Windows PC after downloading the zipped win32 binary from this website. Unzip the file and run the .exe to install the program. You can also download DMG2ISO, but DMG2IMG is the recommended software to use.
Step 2. Open Command Prompt on your PC and execute the following command to convert your DMG into ISO. Be sure to change the file names as appropriate, and include the whole file path from the main directory:
dmg2img.exe c:downloadsexample.dmg c:downloadsexampleconverted.iso
dmg2img.exe c:downloadsexample.dmg c:downloadsexampleconverted.iso
Step 3. Now that your ISO file is ready, you can use the Windows ISO burning utility or a free application like FreeISOBurner to create a bootable DVD.
This DVD can be used to install macOS in virtual Windows environments with tools like Virtualbox. You can't use ISO files to install software in Mac, so if this is intended for a computer running Mac OS X or macOS, you will need to convert it back to DMG before you can install the program in question. If you're not confident that you can carry out the steps properly, then continue to Method 2.
Method 2: How to Make a Bootable DVD for Mac on Windows (DMGGeeker)
Conversion processes aren't always accurate and success rate is low for the first method. Many DVD are not able to be used to install macOS due to boot errors. Although DMG2IMG is a great tool, you may find that your resulting ISO file is corrupted and therefore useless. That means doing it all over again. Instead, you can try using DMGGeeker, which allows you to directly burn DMG to a DVD in Windows without having to convert the file. Such a disk can be used to boot a Mac computer.
DMGGeeker is an emerging star in the world of disk image file management software. It allows you to edit, add files to, delete content from, rename and do a lot more with DMG files on Windows without any conversion necessary. If you've been searching for the ideal DMG handling tool for Windows, your search has just ended. Let's see how the process works for creating a bootable media from DMG in Windows. It works with all recent versions of Windows.
Step 1Prepare for Installation
You can download it from the official site here. And then install DMGGeeker on a Windows PC.
Step 2Open DMGGeeker in Windows
Launch the application and click on the 'Burn' option. You'll see the other tools available for DMG files.
Step 3Create Bootable USB from macOS Install Image
Click 'Load DMG' to import your DMG file into the program. Insert a blank DVD and click Burn against the DVD option to write the DMG to the disk.
In three simple steps, your bootable DVD is ready. You won't find that many tools that are so easy to operate. DMGGeeker also has one of the highest burn success rates in its class, which means no wasted DVDs and no wasted time.
Summary
How to choose the rignt tool depends on what the purpose is. If you want to use a DMG file in Windows to mount a version of Mac OS X, then Method 1 will work. However, most of the time, you'll need a DMG to install an OS version on a Mac computer. In those cases, if all you have to work with is a Windows PC, DMGGeeker is the perfect application. It's simple enough for a novice yet robust enough for a professional, it contains all the tools you need to manage DMG files, and it's a life-saver if you only have a Windows PC to work with.
