So, I'm really excited to get my hands on my first Linux system. I did all the steps required for downloading Ubuntu, until the step with creating a bootable USB stick, wher eI have a problem.
I followed the steps in the link: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx
and I arrived at step 8, where it says:
Execute sudo dd if=/path/to/downloaded.img of=/dev/rdiskN bs=1m
Here is what I typed in:
sudo dd if=ubuntu-14.04-desktop-amd64+mac.img.dmg of=/dev/rdisk1 bs=1m
after waiting for 3 minutes and a half (or 210.289801 seconds) of data transfer (of 1008730112 bytes) I get a window with the message:
The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer
with options to: "Initialize…", "Ignore", or "Eject"
Q: How do I solve this problem? (Bonus: Where did all the data go?)
Best Answer
If u have an iso, try converting it into UDRW format. The following command will help u convert:-
U will get a .img.dmg
Then, clear all the data on your USB device and copy the image to the USB stick. later, try this
wait till it completes and then eject using,
Hope this helps! :)
