Burning Nas4Free To USB Flash Drive

[rustyfender]

Is there a program to support this?

I've tried using Rufus, but it does not support making a boot disk from the Nas4Free ISO.

My thinking is that a USB drive will load faster than a CD.

Thanks, but 7-Zip will not extract any files from the live USB ISO...

NAS4Free-x86-LiveUSB-9.2.0.1.943

1 - donwload: NAS4Free-x86-LiveUSB-9.2.0.1.943.img
2 - Insert a USB stick. Check the Drive Letter of the USB stick from Windows Explorer.
3 - Launch Win32 Disk Imager
- Click on the blue ‘Open’icon to select NAS4Free-x86-LiveUSB-9.2.0.1.943.img image
- Select the correct Drive Letter from ‘Device’ drop down menu
- Click on ‘Write’ button to write the image to the USB stick

now you have a live USB version of Nas4free, once boot from it, you can select option 9 to do definitive install (embeded or full) in other boot device ( in other USB stick or in one Hard Disk to boot Nas4Free).

PD: LiveUSB is fully functional, excep changes in webGUI are not persistent so you lose all changes when reboot, but is usefull for installation pourpouses, to test how nas4Free works and if detect properly your hardware prior to a definitive install.

Thanks, raulfg3.

Before I read your post, I burned the IMG to USB by setting Rufus to DD image.

Everything went well from what I can tell.

How can this be done on a Mac?
Have tried both Disk Utility 'Restore' image and terminal

Code: Select all

sudo dd if=/Users/neil/Downloads/NAS4Free-x64-LiveUSB-11.0.0.4.3958.img of=/dev/disk6 bs=1m

and neither work to create a bootable USB.

Disk Utility reports the img file is not a suitable img and fails and the terminal does the job and creates a USB stick but it is not bootable
