Would this method work with a USB stick instead of a hard drive?

Thank you for your help, it’s a nice tuto !
btw, you can also do it on a usb stick, not only HD (i’ve done on it on a usb, it’s working).

Hey I’m trying to restore the .dmg file so i can boot from a usb external HD.

My problem is i recieve an error (16) when trying this?!?! im not really sure what this means and how i can get passed it. im running a mackbook with 2GB memory. Im wondering if my file is corrupt or is this a problem with disk utility? any advice on this situation would be a great help. Also my cd drive isn’t working, this is why i need to beet from an external HD.

Thanks! – Mark

how did you format your USB HD ?
In Disk utility go to partition then by options change to guid-partition.

(sorry for my bad english)
