For me unetbootin didn't recognize my usb device, but it worked by selecting it through the command line:
/Applications/unetbootin.app/Contents/MacOS/unetbootin installtype=USB targetdrive=/dev/disk2s1
Replace /dev/disk2s1
with yours, you can find it out by diskutil list
:
/dev/disk2 (external, physical):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: FDisk_partition_scheme *31.5 GB disk2
1: Windows_NTFS WIN 31.5 GB disk2s1
🚀 Flash it!
Select your Windows ISO image and flash it 🙌
