Problem with setting up a bootable USB on corrupted OSX
- by Nick
I cant access the desktop because my harddrive is corrupted. Therefore I want to make a bootable USB stick so i can transfer all of my important files to my External HD. Problem is that Im stuck on Step 3 --- http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx .
Im not sure of what i should change this to:
hdiutil convert -format UDRW -o ~/path/to/target.img ~/path/to/ubuntu.iso
It says convert failed - No such file or directory. Obviously the problem is that i dont know the path to the USB, maybe you know how to find out?
Please help me. Thanks.
ps.
Ive downloaded the ubuntu desktop amd64+mac.
pps.
Unetbootin is a different alternative, but i dont know if it works?
