How to burn an .iso image of Windows 8.1 to a flash drive from under Mac OS?

We have:

  • MBP with macOS Yosemite,
  • iso image win8.1,
  • flash drive 8 GB,
  • computer with mat. board ASUS H61M-K [uefi bios]

I write the image with the command
sudo dd if=/Windows\ 8.1\ Pro\ with\ update\ x64\ MoverSoft\ 04.2015.iso
of=/dev/disk2 bs=1m

I insert a flash drive into the computer - it refuses to boot from it.

So, by typing, the problem was solved:

  1. Format the flash drive in FAT32 format
  2. We connect the image
  3. We stupidly copy all the files from the image to the USB flash drive
  4. Profit! :)

sudo dd if=/Windows\ 8.1\ Pro\ with\ update\ x64\ MoverSoft\ 04.2015.iso
of=/dev/disk2 bs=1m; sync
if /dev/disk2 is a pointer to a device, not a partition.
