You don’t format it for mac because a-your laptop wont recognize it if using windows and b-chameleon and or clover bootloader wont pick it up . Best to use diskpart in windows and convert usb to gpt first ,then restore image using transmac

Try with Unibeast if TransMac does not work for you!
Oh no !! That’s great deception do you now why?

Great post!
I intend to burn the DMG image to dvd-9 with transmac and boot with the Dvd, bcos I don’t have 8gb USB drive.
Will this work?
I’ve not tried to burn Mac Operating System on DVD then start Installation. If you don’t have 8 GB Flash drive so you need an 8 GB DVD. Again the price will not have much difference. USB is portable and also reusable. DVD is not like this.

Try other methods if this is not working.
