SOLVED Unable to boot using Bootable USB on Mac

[Shibby]

Dumb question but with all the windows tools i keep seeing and many youtube videos showing on windows how to make MacOS bootable, there is no way this can be on windows machine? I thought Transmac was the ticket here?

2nd-are these usb boot drives only when someone has mac os running? does it work when you are trying to install MacOS through OC bootup?

It actually matters. A real Mac and a Hack will require two different ways to boot.

Hello and especially a big thank you to you.

I followed your advice and I resumed my research on a virtual machine (stopped after several failures at the end of last summer).

Oracle VM Virtualbox was already installed on my PC so I first looked for new info via this software.
And I was very pleasantly surprised to discover an update that supported MacOS, without having to do a lot of settings.

I followed a simple tutorial to install it, then I followed the normal procedure to create a bootable USB key and after some trial and error.

I finally succeeded, I thank you very much for your wise advice, my uncle will be very happy.

hi can you share what ISO and MacOS you used for the VM and some step by step instructions on how you created the USB bootable drive with your MacOS image?

Well, there's no point as @Bob-Ricard has a Macintosh, not a non-Apple computer to install. Please continue with the other thread you created.
