Is it a huge hassle to handle block devices? should be much easier than on windows i guess. Once you have that, you should be able to build upon it. Then I'd try to produce a GUI tool that can format a drive to NTFS and produce a progress bar when doing so. I'd look at the Copyright notices (in the about box) to get the list of all the Open Source projects Rufus leverages, as most of these should have a Linux/OS X port and it should give you an idea of the pieces you're going to have to fill. What would you recommend as start point if I were to rewrite the application for Linux and MacOSX. Ofcourse I do 'dd if=/dev/disk2 of=~/img/' images that can I restore with dd on 'any' other usb.īut newer releases of upgraded windows exist also and I will like to prepare a fresh image drive from time to time. So I always have to ask a friend to prepare a Usb drive for me or I need to have a bare metal windows machine around to do the hassle by myself.
Rufus for mac install#
I need to find a retail cd of windows 7, bootcamp it(not every iso works), install on baremetal, install rufus, download Windows 7 SP1 or any newer, and prepare usb with Rufus from baremetal windows machine. Running Rufus on OSX with wine finds no devices as well.
Rufus for mac mac#
I dont have bare metal Windows around, neither my Virtual Machines on my Mac can export USB to themselfs properly so I can use Rufus(doesnt find devices). I have a problem creating Windows bootable USB flash drive and I am trapped in a useless loop of lots of work until I prepare a USB flash on my MacBook Pro. noone of those works like your tool (always, from first time with every iso i feed it). I have tried lots of useless tools like unetbootin and such. Is it a huge hassle to handle block devices? should be much easier than on windows i guess.ĭoes such tool exist for Linux/Mac OS X already ? Appears github have changed their policy and no personal messages exist? WTF
