Default Explanation of the Win32DiskImager Please.. - 09-02-2010, 05:55 PM

In connection to the Win32DiskImager and step 4 as decribed in NetbookInstaller 2: USB Mac Installation via Any Operating System , what is exactly happening here. I have read that you can use a USB HDD for this part. I have an HP Pocket Drive handy, but I am worried that I won't be able to reclaim/reformat the drive when I am done.

I just posted about having issues reformatting my small USB drive. I did this to see if I could, but I am having issues on that regard. Please advice.
  1. Open the Image Writer program (it's called Win32DiskImager in the folder you extracted).
  2. The small USB drive is first. Select the correct drive letter under Device, slect the NBI_083F image under Image File, press Write and then Yes. The Progress indicator will help you know when it is finished.
  3. Now select the large USB drive number, and select the macdvd.img file. Press Write and then Yes; this one will take a bit longer so wait for the progress indicator to finish..
  4. When it is done, close Image Writer and remove the USB drives. Eject the DVD and put it away.

You should have no problems reformatting the USB afterwards!

I tried Win32DiskImager but, for me, "Transmac" seemed to be more reliable(www.asy.com - free for a trial period)
