How Can I Create Bootable USB for Mac OS X Mountain Lion?
My dad’s old iMac 2007 was broken and replaced with a new hard drive. This Mac comes with Mac OS X Mountain Lion when it was shipped. How can I create a bootable Mountain Lion USB on a Windows PC so I can reinstall OS X Mountain Lion on this Mac.
Here are the steps I’ve taken so far:
Downloaded the Mac OS X Mountain Lion installer from the Mac App Store.Prepared a USB drive (at least 8GB) and formatted it using Disk Utility with Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format.Tried using the terminal command ‘createinstallmedia’ but it seems to be unsupported for Mountain Lion.
I would appreciate detailed steps or any tools you recommend for creating a Mac OS X bootable USB drive on a Windows PC or Mac.
