Click to expand.Hey man, i dont actually need this tool right now, i came across this thread searching for how to make a bootable flash drive windows 7/8 disk from OS X terminal, ive done it before but i need a guide because im not too familiar with command prompts. Anyway i saw this post with the tools you made and that no one has replied and just wanted to say thanks, i relied on something similar to get my 2008-9 Aluminum Unibody Macbook ( not pro, the one and only aluminum macbook) and im sure at some point someone will find this a godsend, anyway just wanted to say thanks for the contribution.

It's the second time I have read this suggestion on the 'net, but it seems to be impossible: Parallels only allows to 'use' an existing Windows partition, previously created with Boot Camp. It doesn't allow to install an.ISO to a blank Windows partition. If it does, well, then it isn't obvious, and I, for myself, would love to know how it's done. Note: my SuperDrive is faulty and will not read/write most disks, and my Late 2006 iMac cannot boot from USB flash drives, even with rEFIt, which I do have installed thus I need an alternative to install Windows via an.ISO on a fresh partition, without using either CDs or anything not directly connected to the motherboard. Only a subset of Macintoshes can boot Windows from a USB drive. I know from personal experience that the 2011 MacBook Air and the 2012 MacBook Pro 15' non-retina (and I assume the retina model will as well) can boot Windows from a USB disk. The current iMacs cannot that I have seen. The late 2011 MacBook Pro does not seem to either. Here's what I think will boot Windows from USB. Please correct me if needed: 2011+ MacBook Air (confimred) 2012+ MacBook Pro (confirmed) 2012 MacBook Pro with Retina display (assumed - not confirmed) 2011+ Mac mini (assumed - not confirmed) Will not- Mac Pro (all models) iMac (all models).
