  • Cant get it to boot. Have installed rEFit and waited until it was finished but it still dont boot. Have anyone got this to work? Give me a tumbs up if YOU got this to work for WINDOWS 7.

  • @nilsi1987 this works for windows 7 i've made a number of bootables. If you need one I can point you in the right direction.

  • how do i know if its working..ok ya ma hard disk is blinking but how do i know when is it done or how much is it done so far..???

    Thankss

  • @monikgada11 I wish there was a command which gave you a status but i can't find one. best thing to do is be patient. I'm sure you resolved this but if you didn't let me know.

  • @iMeerkatCS There is, actually.

    1. Open a new terminal window.

    2. type ps -a (this shows all terminal processes)

    3. look for the PID corresponding to the dd command you typed

    4. type sudo kill -USR1 1234 (where 1234 is the PID of the command)

    5. type in your admin password when asked

    6. it should display current progress of the copy

    7. use the last command to check up on the progress (as it generates a static text output, not an updated progress)

  • @theSuitMusic I didn't want to get into process pipleline status to not confuse viewers. I tried making this as simple as possible for Lix nubs. ps is a great. I've used it with solaris os. (my favored cloud server :D) Thanks a ton for the input. I might as well toss an annotation in the end of the video. Crediting you of course!

  • @iMeerkatCS im trying to make my external HD Windows 7 Bootable... can you please guide me? I'd really appreciate it!! thanks bro

  • @iMeerkatCS im trying that right now can you guide me please.. invaderekim@yahoo.com

  • Yess, thanks!

  • I tried this using both this, and unetboot. Nothing will actually boot with my Samsung notebook, whats the problem?

  • @iMeerkatCS I can't make my samsung laptop start from it.

  • @pgeske yeah same here... Make the shit music's comment marked as spam. Its not working.

  • I did exactly what you said, but the usb doesn't show up in the boot menu at startup.

  • @theSuitMusic Doesn't that just end the process? i tried it, and it didn't display the current progress. instead, as i expected, it killed the process, forcing me to erase the usb drive and start over.

  • if i am making a osx lion USB do i format the drive differently?
