Hi
I'm running into a problem where unibeast doesnt seem to take the 10-15 minutes to write to the USB. It takes like 30 seconds. But the end result is not a lion bootable USB. Its just about 10 megs of files unibeast has put onto the drive.
In Summary:
I'm using:
0. 2011 MBP to try to generate the bootable USB Thumbdrive
1. Patriot XT 16GB USB Thumbdrive
2. App store downloaded version of Lion (downloaded on march 13 2012)
I've:
1. Erased the thumbdrive.
2. Partitioned the thumbdrive to Volume Scheme: 1 partition with Formate: Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
3. Verified that the Lion install app is in my Applications folder.
4. Run Unibeast
5. Selected Mac App Store "Install Mac OS X Lion"
6. Selected Laptop Support (I've done with and without this option ticked)
7. Ended up with a quick "success" with the green circle/checkmark and 10 megs of files on the thumbdrive. This is not what I expect. It seems that the whole Lion installable image should be processed by Unibeast and placed on the thumbdrive.
I thought I followed the directions to a T, more times than I care to remember.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Is there something different about recent versions of the appstore version of Lion installer?
Do I have my head so far up my butt that I can't tell whats going on? - Did I miss some crucial bit of information?
I know that the USB thumbdrive works because I installed ubuntu on it to test it out, and that worked.
The Lion install app seems to be viable, I initiated the install on my MBP (and quit out of it to prevent it from being cleared out).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Attached is a screenshot of what the contents of my USB Thumbdrive look like post unibeasting...
Thank You.
