Convert the ISO to UDRW format

I repeat my script and get the same bad results. I tried doing a bootable usb on Mac with the terminal commands and after it copied and ejected, the usb disappeared completely. It does not appear as bootable device, it does not appear in the disk utility app. Also I am beginner at working with terminal, but from what I can see, the stick as I know it 16gb does not appear either.

I have a distant past in sysadmin so I tend to exclude errors and I tried a few times.

If a translation corresponding to your system's native language has already been included into UNetbootin, it should automatically load the corresponding translation. If you'd like to help translate this website, join the project on Transifex , then edit translations either on this website or on Transifex.

If you'd like to help translate the UNetbootin program itself, please use Launchpad Translations. If you are new to Launchpad, you will first have to join the corresponding Ubuntu Translators group for the language you intend to translate. For information on using the Launchpad Translations system, see the translations help page.

If using Windows, UNetbootin should prompt you to remove it the next time you boot into Windows.

If using Linux, re-run the UNetbootin executable with root priveledges , and press OK when prompted to uninstall. Removal is only required if you used the "Hard Drive" installation mode; to remove the bootloader from a USB drive, back up its contents and reformat it.

Uninstalling UNetbootin simply removes the UNetbootin entry from your boot menu; if you installed an operating system to a partition using UNetbootin, removing UNetbootin will not remove the OS. To manually remove a Linux installation, you will have to restore the Windows bootloader using "fixmbr" from a recovery CD, and use Parted Magic to delete the Linux partition and expand the Windows partition. Source code is on Github , though you may prefer a tarball of the latest release. UNetbootin was created and written by Geza Kovacs Github: Translators are listed on the translations page.
