![]() ![]() You may need apt install syslinux if you don't have syslinux installed already. That way your grub will find the config prepared by the System Rescue developers, too. This will install your OS version of grub to the USB flash drive in EFI mode.Ĭopy boot/grub/grubsrcd.cfg from the extracted ISO (or the Flash drive, it is there already) to /mnt/RESCUE701/boot/grub/grub.cfg renaming the file. Grub-install -target=x86_64-efi -recheck -removable -efi-directory=/mnt/RESCUE701/ -boot-directory=/mnt/RESCUE701/boot/ to /mnt/RESCUE701.Ĭopy the boot, EFI and sysresccd directories from the (extracted) ISO over to the root of your flash drive partition. Mount the partition created in step 3 above, e.g. If you are upgrading a flash disk from a previous System Rescue version, fatlabel /dev/sdX1 RESCUExyz will do. This label is used to find the root file system. It is crucially important that the label of the partition is "RESCUExyz" with x.yz being the version number of System Rescue you are putting on the flash drive. I do not have any systems that need an EFI partition so I skip GPT and EFI partitions. Use gparted, parted, cfdisk or sfdisk to make MBR partition table and a single primary partition of type "FAT32 LBA" (type c). But if you read this a few months down the line, it will be a newer ISO. I am using System Rescue 7.01 which is the last release as of now. Download System Rescue and unpack the ISOĭownload from and extract the files from the ISO.Ĭd MYTEMPSPACE & 7z x ~/Downloads/ or so will do. I did this on Debian Buster but with some adjustments to paths and what packages to install, any recent Linux distribution should do:ġ. The basic idea is to use the bulk of the System Rescue ISO contents but amend these with your own grub and syslinux so they work as intended over the supplied ones that are bound to the ISO layout a bit too much. I much prefer to have a flash drive that I can write to over an image of a CD (ISO) written 1:1 onto the flash media. They recommend a dd or the fancy graphical version of that, called usbimager. The "Installing on a USB memory stick" documentation is good for Windows (use Rufus, it's nice) but rather useless for Linux. With this their ISO layout changed substantially so when updating my trusty recue USB flash drive, I could not just update the kernel, initrd and the root filesystem image as I had typically done every other year before. I am stuck here.System Rescue, the project formerly known as System Rescue CD, has moved from being based on Gentoo to being built on Arch Linux packages. I know that is a windows prompt, but I cannot use any shortcut keys to select any other option. I get message “No bootable device, insert boot disk and press enter”. I then Used “Startup Disk” on MacOS Recovery again to select BOOTCAMP. And cannot convert GPT to MBR (highly risky) in order to use FixParts because partition greater than 2TB.ĭecided to go back to booting to windows since I can use BOOTCAMP icon in taskbar to restart in “Target Disk Mode”, and borrow another Mac to retrieve important files. Was able to load SystemRescueCD, but on found out cannot create logical drive because “Macintosh HD” partition is GPT, so cannot use “FixParts”. Went to Windows 8 Boot Options Menu: used the “Advanced Startup” option to restart with usb/cd/dvd device. Could not boot with it since cannot use windows startup shortcut keys. Logged into Windows 8.1, and created SystemRescueCD on usb. Used “Startup Disk” on MacOS Recovery to select BOOTCAMP. All listed partitions are GPT partitions.ĭecided to use Linux SystemRescueCD on usb to make “Macintosh HD” logical drive and copy critical folders. Through terminal type “ls /Volumes/“ does not list “Macintosh HD”. ![]() “Macintosh HD” grayed out, could not get critical current files. Need to retrieve critical files before any restore/reinstall operation (6months work). (2.) Can reinstall MacOS High Sierra via Apple download. I select Mac recovery drive on seagate backup.īoots into macOS recovery from seagate drive. Also, I can restart in Mac’s “Target Disk Mode” from here. So, I could go to bootcamp icon in taskbar (on Windows) and select the “Mac recovery” (seagate drive) for startup. ![]() Also installed iMac recovery on this drive. Have 6 months old time machine backup on a 500GB seagate drive. Long ago, after installing the windows 8.1, I never completed the keyboard setup with the “AppleKeyboardInstaller64” file, found in “E:\Bootcamp\Drivers\Apple” if you select to copy the drivers into a usb from bootcamp. Windows Keyboard shortcuts are all NOT working. Boot shortcut keys not functioning for Mac. ![]()
