How to create a bootable USB flash drive with Windows from a Mac?
Hello!
There is a Toshiba Satellite L850D-BJS laptop, the hard drive has been changed on it, you need to install Windows. There are distros (iso) 7 and 10 of Windows from the root tracker, there are recovery disk images for Toshiba (also iso), there is an image of the latest Ubuntu (and here is iso).
To create a bootable flash drive, there is a Mac mini with macOS Mojave 10.14.2, the problem is that it is not possible to boot from a flash drive created on this computer. I used Rufus a thousand times under Windows, but there is no Rufus for Mac. I googled UNetbootin, formatted the flash drive in the Mac disk utility in FAT with MBR, uploaded the above images (tried in turn) - when booting from such a flash drive, the laptop writes "Reboot and Select proper Boot device". I tried to just copy the contents of iso images - the result is the same, I tried it through the terminal and the dd command - and the same thing happens here. Moreover, a bootable USB flash drive with a Linux distribution was at hand (an assembly for a multimedia center, with XBMC, created for a long time just from under Windows) - the laptop is loaded from it.
What to do? How to create a Windows bootable flash drive from under a poppy, or why the methods described above do not work?
