Hello all,
I am looking for some software that will allow me to create a USB disk that can be used to install an OS on. At the moment I am trying to install Linux Mint on a desktop and the ISO is on my MBP. Ive tried unetbootin but that fails to see anything in any of my folders, therefore I cannot select the image file. I also tried Linux USB Builder but that isn't really appropriate as it doesn't seem to give the option to manually select and image, instead it downloads one for you, and all the available images to download are out of date.
I know theres the terminal method but quite frankly thats a pain in the ***, and is hit and miss (at least on this machine anyway).
I just want something that can just apply the OS to the USB disk, no matter what OS it is.
Googling this was a nightmare as all I can really find is how to create a bootable OS X installation.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
Chris
