Boot Camp: Creating an ISO image from a Windows installation DVD

When installing Windows 7 or Windows 8 using an installation DVD, you might see the message "press any key" or your Mac might restart to OS X.

This symptom can happen if you try to install Windows 7 or 8 using a Windows DVD on a Mac that doesn't have a built-in optical drive. To install Windows 8 on a Mac that displays this behavior, create an ISO image of the install disc instead.

1. While started from OS X, insert the Windows installation DVD in an external optical USB drive.
2. After the DVD mounts, open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder (choose Go > Utilities from the Finder).
3. Select the USB optical drive so it is highlighted in the Disk Utility window.
4. Click the New Image icon at the top of the Disk Utility window.
5. Select DVD/CD master from the Image Format pop-up menu, then choose none from the Encryption menu.
   
   
    
6. Give the new file a name, then click on Save. The Creating image dialog appears with a progress bar. It may take some time to create an image file from your Windows DVD.
7. Once imaging is complete, quit Disk Utility.
8. From the Finder, locate the disk image file you created earlier. Single click on it so its icon is highlighted, then press the Enter or Return key on your keyboard to rename the file. Change the disk image file extension from .cdr to .iso. When prompted, click "Use .iso" to verify this change.
   
   
    
9. Eject the Windows installation DVD and disconnect your external optical drive from the USB port.
10. Insert a blank USB 2 flash drive that is a least 16GB in size into a USB port on the computer. Boot Camp Assistant uses this drive to store the Windows 8 install media and support drivers during installation of Windows.
    Note: This flash drive needs to be formatted for the FAT32 file system and must use the Master Boot Record partitioning scheme. Use Disk Utility to check the format of the flash drive before proceeding, and partition or erase the flash drive if necessary.
11. From the Go menu in the Finder select Utilities.
12. Open the Boot Camp Assistant app in the Utilities folder.
13. Click Continue.
14. Make sure the following options are selected (checked) in the Boot Camp Assistant window:
    ✓ Create a Windows 7 or later install disk
    ✓ Download the latest Windows support software from Apple
    ✓ Install Windows 7 or later version
    
    
15. Click Continue.
16. When prompted to select an ISO image, click Choose, then select the ISO image you created.
17. Click Open.
18. When prompted to save Windows drivers by the assistant, select the flash drive you connected as your destination disk.
19. Click Continue.
20. A warning message appears letting you know that the next step erases and reformats the flash drive. Click Continue to erase the flash drive.
21. A task status dialog appears with a progress bar. Do not disturb your computer during this process. Boot Camp Assistant creates Windows install media on the USB flash drive, and downloads and copies related Windows drivers to the same drive.
22. Next, a prompt appears asking for a password to install the Boot Camp Assistant helper tool. Type in your administrator password and click Add Helper.
23. Follow the onscreen instructions to partition your drive and to install Windows.
    - If you're asked where you want to install Windows 7 or Windows 8, select the BOOTCAMP partition, click Advanced, then click Format.
    - If you're installing Windows 8.1, select the BOOTCAMP partition, then click Format. 

Do Not Upgrade To iOS 8.2 If You Want To Keep Your Jailbreak

Apple released iOS 8.2 to the public earlier this week. The new update came with Apple Watch support and improvements to the Health app. However, if you want to keep your previous jailbreak, then it’s best you don’t update to iOS 8.2.




The TaiG iOS jailbreak used to work with the first two iOS 8.2 betas, but Apple managed to patch it in the remaining betas. The final version of iOS 8.2, released on Monday, also continues to block the TaiG jailbreak.
MuscleNerd, a prominent member in the iOS hacking community, tweeted that jailbreakers should stay away from iOS 8.2:

Later that day, Stefan Esser also known as i0n1c, tweeted that iOS 8.2 fixes another TaiG bug. This bug was used by TaiG to attain an untethered jailbreak on iOS 8.2.

The Apple security update states the following:

MobileStorageMounte 
Available for: iPhone 4s and later, iPod touch (5th generation) and later, iPad 2 and later
Impact: A malicious application may be able to create folders in trusted locations in the file system
Description: An issue existed in the developer disk mounting logic which resulted in invalid disk image folders not being deleted. This was addressed through improved error handling.
CVE-ID, CVE-2015-1062 : TaiG Jailbreak Team

Now, we’re not sure if the TaiG team has anymore exploits left, but it sure looks like Apple is doing all they can to stop future jailbreaks. The TaiG team did mention that they’ll be releasing a jailbreak when Apple releases iOS 8.2 to the public. It’s been a few days since iOS 8.2 released and there hasn’t been any jailbreak yet.
Therefore, if you want to keep your jailbreak, then it’s better you don’t update to iOS 8.2. You’re not going to miss much!

Jailbreak iOS 8.2

Jailbreaking iOS 8.2

There is currently no tool available to jailbreak iOS 8.2. Apple had patched several vulnerabilities used by the TaiG and PPJailbreak in iOS 8.1.3, and also patch another vulnerabilities in iOS 8.2, so you can’t use the TaiG or PP Jailbreak tool to jailbreak iOS 8.2.
Users who have jailbroken their device on iOS 8.1.2 or lower should not upgrade their device to iOS 8.2 as one would lose the jailbreak and it will also wipe out the jailbreak tweaks installed on your device.
You can jailbreak iOS 8.1.2 or lower, so check our jailbreak page for links to the latest tutorials.
We’ll let you know as soon as there is an update on iOS 8.1.3 jailbreak. Don’t forget to join our Facebook Fan page, follow us on Twitter, add us to your circles on Google+, subscribe to our RSS feed or our Daily Newsletter for the latest updates on the iOS 8.2 jailbreak.
