Disk Utility User Guide

You can use Disk Utility to create a disk image, which is a file that contains other files and folders.

Note: You can burn information to a CD or DVD using the Burn command in the Finder. See Burn CDs and DVDs.

Create a blank disk image for storage

You can create an empty disk image, add data to it, then use it to create disks, CDs, or DVDs.

1. In the Disk Utility app on your Mac, choose File > New Image > Blank Image.

2. Enter a filename for the disk image, add tags if necessary, then choose where to save it.

   This is the name that appears in the Finder, where you save the disk image file before opening it.

3. In the Name field, enter the name for the disk image.

   This is the name that appears on your desktop and in the Finder sidebar, after you open the disk image.

4. In the Size field, enter a size for the disk image.

5. Click the Format pop-up menu, then choose the format for the disk:

   • If the disk image will be used with a Mac that has a solid state drive (SSD) and uses macOS 10.13 or later, choose APFS or APFS (Case-sensitive).

   • If the disk image will be used with a Mac with macOS 10.12 or earlier, choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled).

   • If the disk image will be used with a Mac or Windows computer and is 32 GB or less, choose MS-DOS (FAT); if it’s over 32 GB, choose ExFAT.

6. To encrypt the disk image, click the Encryption pop-up menu, then choose an encryption option.

7. Click the Partitions pop-up menu, then choose a partition layout.

8. Click the Image Format pop-up menu, then choose an option:

   • Sparse bundle disk image: Same as a sparse disk image (below), but the directory data for the image is stored differently. Uses the .sparsebundle file extension.

   • Sparse disk image: Creates an expandable file that shrinks and grows as needed. No additional space is used. Uses the .sparseimage file extension.

   • Read/write disk image: Allows you to add files to the disk image after it’s created. Uses the .dmg file extension.

   • DVD/CD master: Changes the size of the image to 177 MB (CD 8 cm). Uses the .cdr file extension.

9. Click Save, then click Done.

   Disk Utility creates the disk image file where you saved it in the Finder and mounts its disk icon on your desktop and in the Finder sidebar.

10. In the Finder, copy your files to the mounted disk image, then eject it.

11. Restore the disk image to a disk.

    For more information about disk image types, see the manual (man) page for hdiutil.

Create a disk image from a disk or connected device

You can create a disk image that includes the data and free space on a physical disk or connected device, such as a USB device. For example, if a USB device or volume is 80 GB with 10 GB of data, the disk image will be 80 GB in size and include data and free space. You can then restore that disk image to another volume.

1. In the Disk Utility app on your Mac, select a disk, volume, or connected device in the sidebar.

2. Choose File > New Image, then choose “Image from [device name].”

3. Enter a filename for the disk image, add tags if necessary, then choose where to save it.

   This is the name that appears in the Finder, where you save the disk image file before opening it.

4. Click the Format pop-up menu, then choose an option:

   • Read-only: The disk image can’t be written to, and is quicker to create and open.

   • Compressed: Compresses data, so the disk image is smaller than the original data. The disk image is read-only.

   • Read/write: Allows you to add files to the disk image after it’s created.

   • DVD/CD master: Can be used with third-party apps. It includes a copy of all sectors of the disk image, whether they’re used or not. When you use a master disk image to create other DVDs or CDs, all data is copied exactly.

5. To encrypt the disk image, click the Encryption pop-up menu, then choose an encryption option.

6. Click Save, then click Done.

   Disk Utility creates the disk image file where you saved it in the Finder and mounts its disk icon on your desktop and in the Finder sidebar.

Important: Don’t create a disk image of a disk that you believe to be failing or that contains corrupted information. The disk image may not serve as a reliable backup.

For technical information about creating a restore disk image, see the Apple Software Restore (ASR) manual (man) page.

Create a disk image from a folder or connected device

You can create a disk image that contains the contents of a folder or connected device, such as a USB device. This method doesn’t copy a device’s free space to the disk image. For example, if a USB device or volume is 80 GB with 10 GB of data, the disk image will be 10 GB in size and include only data, not free space. You can then restore that disk image to another volume.

1. In the Disk Utility app on your Mac, choose File > New Image, then choose Image from Folder.

2. Select the folder or connected device in the dialog that appears, then click Open.

3. Enter a filename for the disk image, add tags if necessary, then choose where to save it.

   This is the name that appears in the Finder, where you save the disk image file before opening it.

4. To encrypt the disk image, click the Encryption pop-up menu, then choose an encryption option.

5. Click the Image Format pop-up menu, then choose an option:

   • Read-only: The disk image can’t be written to, and is quicker to create and open.

   • Compressed: Compresses data, so the disk image is smaller than the original data. The disk image is read-only.

   • Read/write: Allows you to add files to the disk image after it’s created.

   • DVD/CD master: Can be used with third-party apps. It includes a copy of all sectors of the disk image, whether they’re used or not. When you use a master disk image to create other DVDs or CDs, all data is copied exactly.

   • Hybrid image (HFS+/ISO/UDF): This disk image is a combination of disk image formats and can be used with different file system standards, such as HFS, ISO, and UDF.

6. Click Save, then click Done.

   Disk Utility creates the disk image file where you saved it in the Finder and mounts its disk icon on your desktop and in the Finder sidebar.

For technical information about creating a restore disk image, see the Apple Software Restore (ASR) manual (man) page.

Create a secure disk image

If you have confidential documents that you don’t want others to see without your permission, you can put them in an encrypted disk image.

1. In the Disk Utility app on your Mac, choose File > New Image > Blank Image.

2. Enter a filename for the disk image, add tags if necessary, then choose where to save it.

   This is the name that appears in the Finder, where you save the disk image file before opening it.

3. In the Name field, enter the name for the disk image.

   This is the name that appears on your desktop and in the Finder sidebar, after you open the disk image.

4. In the Size field, enter a size for the disk image.

5. Click the Format pop-up menu, then choose a format:

   • If you’re using the encrypted disk image with a Mac computer using macOS 10.13 or later, choose APFS or APFS (Case-sensitive).

   • If you’re using the encrypted disk image with a Mac computer using macOS 10.12 or earlier, choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled).

6. Click the Encryption pop-up menu, then choose an encryption option.

7. Enter and re-enter a password to unlock the disk image, then click Choose.

   WARNING: If you forget this password, you won’t be able to open the disk image and view any of the files.

8. Use the default settings for the rest of the options:

   • Click the Partitions pop-up menu, then choose Single partition - GUID Partition Map.

   • Click the Image Format pop-up menu, then choose “read/write” disk image.

9. Click Save, then click Done.

   Disk Utility creates the disk image file where you saved it in the Finder and mounts its disk icon on your desktop and in the Finder sidebar.

10. In the Finder , copy the documents you want to protect to the disk image.

11. If you want to erase the original documents so they can’t be recovered, drag them to the Trash, then choose Finder > Empty Trash.

When you’re finished using the documents on the secure disk image, be sure to eject the disk image. As long as it’s available on your desktop, anyone with access to your computer can use the documents on it.

To access the data in a disk image, double-click it. It appears on your desktop, and you can add, remove, and edit files on it just as you would with a disk.

Most new PCs don't come with DVD drives anymore. So it can be a pain to install Windows on a new computer.

Luckily, Microsoft makes a tool that you can use to install Windows from a USB storage drive (or 'thumbdrive' as they are often called).

But what if you don't have a second PC for setting up that USB storage drive in the first place?

In this tutorial we'll show you how you can set this up from a Mac.

You can download the ISO file straight from Windows. That's right - everything we're going to do here is 100% legal and sanctioned by Microsoft.

If you want an English-language version of the latest update of Windows 10, you can download the ISO here.

If you have a relatively new computer, you probably want the 64-bit version. If you're not sure, go with the 32-bit version to be safe.

If you want a non-English-language version of Windows, or want to get an older update version, download the ISO here instead.

The ISO file is only about 5 gigabytes, but I recommend you use a USB drive with at least 16 gigabytes of space just in case Windows needs more space during the installation process.

I bought a 32 gigabyte USB drive at Walmart for only $3, so this shouldn't be very expensive.

Stick your USB drive into your Mac. Then open your terminal. You can do this using MacOS Spotlight by pressing both the ⌘ and Space bar at the same time, then typing 'terminal' and hitting enter.

Don't be intimidated by the command line interface. I'm going to tell you exactly which commands to enter.

Open Mac Spotlight using the ⌘ + space keyboard shortcut. Then type the word 'terminal' and select Terminal from the dropdown list.

Paste the following command into your terminal and hit enter:

diskutil list

You will see output like this (note - your Mac's terminal may be black text on a white background if you haven't customized it).

Copy the text I point to here. It will probably be something like

/dev/disk2.

Next format your USB drive to Windows FAT32 format. This is a format that Windows 10 will recognize.

Note that you should replace the disk2 with the name of the your drive from step 3 if it wasn't disk2. (It may be disk3 or disk4).

Run this command using the correct disk number for your USB:

diskutil eraseDisk MS-DOS 'WIN10' GPT /dev/disk2

Then you'll see terminal output like this.

This will probably only take about 20 seconds on a newer computer, but may take longer on an older computer.

Note that for some hardware, you may instead need to run this command, which uses the MBR format for partitioning instead of GPT. Come back and try this command if step 7 fails, then redo steps 5, 6, and 7:

Now we're going to prep our downloaded ISO file so we can copy it over to our USB drive.

You will need to check where your downloaded Windows 10 ISO file is and use that. But your file is probably located in your ~/Downloads folder with a name of Win10_1903_V1_English_x64.iso.

Mac Iso Burner To Usb

hdiutil mount ~/Downloads/Win10_1903_V1_English_x64.iso

Update April 2020: One of the files in the Windows 10 ISO – install.wim – is now too large to copy over to a FAT-32 formatted USB drive. So I'll show you how to copy it over separately.

Thank you to @alexlubbock for coming up with this workaround.

First run this command to copy over everything but that file:

rsync -vha --exclude=sources/install.wim /Volumes/CCCOMA_X64FRE_EN-US_DV9/* /Volumes/WIN10

Then run this command to install Homebrew (if you don't have it installed on your Mac yet):

/usr/bin/ruby -e '$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)'

Then use Homebrew to install a tool called wimlib with this terminal command:

brew install wimlib

Then go ahead and create the directory that you're going to write the files into:

mkdir /Volumes/WIN10/sources

Then run this command. Note that this process may take several hours, you may see 0% progress until it finishes. Don't abort it. It will use wimlib to split the install.wim file into 2 files less than 4 GB each (I use 3.8 GB in the following command), then copy them over to your USB:

wimlib-imagex split /Volumes/CCCOMA_X64FRE_EN-US_DV9/sources/install.wim /Volumes/WIN10/sources/install.swm 3800

Once that's done, you can eject your USB from your Mac inside Finder. Note that Windows will automatically rejoin these files later when you're installing.

Congratulations - your computer now should boot directly from your USB drive. If it doesn't, you may need to check your new PC's BIOS and change the boot order to boot from your USB drive.

Windows will pop up a screen and start the installation process.

Enjoy your new PC, and your newly-installed copy of Windows.
