I have a directory of Windows 7 OS files extracted from a Windows 7 ISO. How do I create a bootable Windows iso on a Mac using the files from the directory. I have tried and succeeded in creating an iso using Disk Utility and hdiutil command, but it didn't boot.
What I did?
I used Disk Utility to create a CD/DVD image(.cdr) with no compression from the Windows directory that I created. Then used the following hdiutil command to create the iso: hdiutil makehybrid -iso -joliet -o image.iso image.cdr.
I know how to do this in Windows using programs like Nero or PowerISO. I had to add in the boot image that I extracted from the original Windows 7 media when I burn the new ISO.
I suspect that I didn't include the boot image when I was creating the ISO on mac that caused it not to boot. Is there any program or command that will allow me to add in the boot image if my suspicion was correct?
