macos - How do you create a bootable partition on a USB drive?

I have a bootable ISO designed to be burned to a double-layer DVD. I don't have a double layer DVD burner, so I would like to stick the ISO image on a 50 GB partition on a USB hard drive I have. How do I get the boot info onto the hard drive?


Attempt 1:



  1. booted into Ubuntu 9.04 LiveCD

  2. deleted the partition on my existing USB hard drive

  3. sudo dd if=/path/to/image.iso of=/dev/MyUSB

  4. booted to USB drive

  5. error: Error Loading OS


Atempt 2:



  1. booted into Ubuntu 9.04 LiveCD

  2. deleted the partition on my existing USB hard drive

  3. sudo mkdosfs -I -v -n iPC /dev/MyUSB

  4. sudo syslinux /dev/MyUSB

  5. sudo dd if=/path/to/image.iso of=/dev/MyUSB

  6. booted to USB drive

  7. error: Selected boot device not available - strike F1 to retry boot, F2 for setup utility
