Mac Os X Snow Leopard For Usb

I apologize for my first post being a call for help, but I am kinda stuck right now. And now for My Sorry Story: I purchased my MacBook (Q4-2009) from a pawn shop and my OS X Snow Leopard disk from the Mac Store. My DVD got fragged in the engine compartment of my van (please don't ask.' Kids' is the answer) and I don't have the disk any more. However, I do have the.dmg I ripped from it for archival backup purposes. I decided to try Windows 7 (I know.dumb) and now I've had it.I want my OS X back.

What is the best VPN for Mac? Here’s what you should be looking for in a Virtual Private Network: first of all, make sure that it follows the no-logs policy. Without at least some basic understanding of what it’s all about, you’re running the risk of wasting your money on a Network that’s moderate at best.

Here's the crunch: I don't have a dual-layer disk to which to burn my backup image. So I want to use windows 7 on my macbook to write the.dmg of the installer to an 8GB flash stick, from which I may install to my Mac. In short: Use win 7, running on my mac, to create a bootable usb mac osx installer which I can then use to install OS X on said mac. I'm not sure whether there are any licensing issues here, but I do own a legit license for osx, and it is to be installed on my MacBook.

I solved my own problem. I want to be sure this is here for others to find. Download the program TransMac, use it to access your usb key, right-click on the usb drive in question, and from the context menu select Format disk->with disk image.

Installing OS X From a USB Drive. Like other versions of OS X, Snow Leopard can be installed from a USB drive. This is especially beneficial to Macbook Air users looking to install the OS without a DVD drive. Select the Erase tab on the right and then set Format to Mac OS Extended (Journaled).

Select the.dmg image of your Leopard DVD, and wait patiently while TransMac extracts the compressed image, then prompts you to format and copy. To test, winblows will tell you the disk is not formatted upon any attempt to access it within windows, aside from using TransMac itself. I have tested this and it will boot from usb if you press the option key while starting up. Thank you for being here, though.

Good luck to all. I solved my own problem. I want to be sure this is here for others to find.

Huh Was there anything in your post remotely helpful to the question? You don't know that he ripped off SL -- and it isn't your responsibility to call him out on it. He asked a question. If you don't have the answer, don't post useless drivel. I have a similar issue -- my macbook crashed, its no longer under warranty.

The CD drive doesn't support dual layer and all I have are two other PC notebooks, an 8GB thumb drive and a 1TB external USB drive. Since I can't use the MacBook to create a GUID partition on either of them or Disk Utility to burn the CD to either of the drives, is there a way to achieve the same results with Windows 7?
