Bootable USB - Soap109 - 08-28-2014

Hey there,

Short question. Is there a way to make a USB Drive boot on a Windows and OSX System?
Cause I created one but it only works with my Windows PC...
I dont think that the USB can boot from 2 OS's but maybe someone got a answer for me.

Thanks Smile

Wont work, I tried it with many different styles but I cant boot the stick on my Mac.
Any other ideas?

Thanks though!

You can take a look on THIS link for this multibooting program YUMI.
I hope that helped you out.

According to this (http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx) you need to convert it to a UDRW format image. But according to this (https://sskaje.me/2014/02/create-windows-7-8-bootable-usb-drive-on-osx/) having a UDRW formatted image will also work on PC. So try the steps in the first link and you should get a bootable usb stick. Also you should verify your boot order (make sure you boot from usb before HDD).
