You are the one who normally explained how to prepare flash drive properly on windows before writing the image. Everyone talks: "You need to format your drive in Mac OS Extended format. For this use Disk utility (software that is pre-installed in Mac OS). But what to do if I don't have MacOS? This manual is first that explained this moment. Thanks a lot

When i put usb "recovery 13.x dmg" doesn't appear

[jamesf]

why is there no recovery 13.x dmg
item to boot from in the bootable menu?

[SportsEpicMoments-lxos]

That was awesome. It was simple, straightforward and last but not least it worked.
Thank you

When I run macOS base system it loads the apple logo then it goes away and boots into windows? Any ideas?

Great tuorial! I keep having a problem in the creation of the usb. When extracting Package, i get "Located BaseSystem.dmg...", "Extracting hfs..." and then "An error occurred extracting: 2". Happened with several usb sticks and memory cards (ranging from 32gb to 256gb). Any idea why this error?

I am running an amd ryzen9 5950x which isnt avaible in the preset list. I choose the "Desktop_11thGen_Rocket_Lake_iMacPro1, 1.plist" for now but I cant get macOS to load on my amd chip or my laptop which uses an intel chip. The recovery option doesnt appear and when I load the macOS base system I get kicked out into windows

Hey @BarTechTV I have found that if the recovery thing doesn't show up on pc, if you click on MacOS Base System it will launch!

Incredible, this saved my day. Thank you sooo much!

[TheZachnoahhannah]

this worked like a charm and im soo a novice !!! thought my mac was done..nope, u can buy a 1tb scandisk usb srive for 24 bucks at best buy..fits the entire os system..ty so much

Wowsers, that was A LOT of steps, but I am so glad I came across this video because I cannot, for the life of me, figure out where my USB key wandered off to! I'm sure I'll find it now that I've completed this USB drive, but at least I'll have a backup!! Now to see if it works... EEK!

Using iMac 2019 that was running Mac OS x. Everything is well until I try booting from the USB drive (Indicated as EFI). It hangs for about 4 minutes and restarts. Booting from Base System doesn't help either😤

[JeffRyanjhr]

I have tried this 4 times and everything all it does is boot to a blank screen.my mac was erased so I have no os. When I install and run everything in the video it never gives me an error, everything is smooth until I try to install the usb. It is just a black screen, any ideas?

[cloudypillars]

Awesome. You explain it like a pro, I really appreciate your time and concern. I have an old Macbook Pro 13 Mid 2012 (Model A1278 and want to create a High Sierra bootable USB. Can you help to create it? Thanks once again.

[overdriver]

OMG... Thank you so much. I will try this today!

Hi!
I chose MacOS Base System and it started loading, in about 30% in loading it stopped and it shows the apple support startup link with no error code showing, if possible, I'd like to get an advice, Core i7 10700K

Edit:
Also, I didn't understand completely if I'd be able to run directly on the usb drive or if it needs to be downloaded on a built in drive

[shihabindian]

Thank you very much for guiding me on this ....

@BarTechTV, Is there a auto driver getter for the hackintosh?

[truedinis]
