Creating a MemTest86 bootable USB Flash drive in Linux/Mac

Mac Software Bootable Usb Bootable

1. Download the current Memtest86 package as a Zip file from this page.


2. Unzip the file. Inside the Zip there is a 'disk image' file. For the free edition of MemTest86, this file is called, memtest86-usb.img


3. Insert a USB flash drive into a USB slot. It needs to be at least 512MB in size.
   Warning: The contents will be overwritten in the next steps.


4. Determine which device the USB drive is assigned as by opening the Terminal and typing the following command. Don't get this wrong as you don't want to overwrite the wrong drive.
   

   diskutil list



5. Unmount all volumes on the USB drive by typing the following command:
   

   diskutil unmountDisk <device_name>

   In the example above the device name is /dev/disk2


6. As the root user, use the 'dd' command to write the image to the USB drive. For example,
   

   sudo dd if=<input_file> of=<device_name> bs=4m Mac os catalina app store frozen.

   Note: For Ubuntu, the bs=4M must be capitalised.

   where:
   <device_name> is the device the USB key is assigned to. Use the base device (ie. /dev/disk2) not a partition designation (ie. /dev/disk2s1). bs= block size of data transfer. Larger block sizes are faster.
   <input_file> is the file path for the input image file. (E.g: ~/Downloads/memtest86-usb.img)
   Warning: all data on the USB key will be lost.
   3rd warning! Make sure that the device used in the dd command above is correct. The consequence of picking the wrong drive are potentially disastrous. Total and compete data loss from your hard drive, if you overwrite the wrong drive.
