Warn about images without a partition table

See original GitHub issue

1.0.0-beta. 10 OSX 10.11(.0)

ESXi ISO image does not boot after flashed to USB VMware-VMvisor-Installer-6.0.0.update02-3620759.x86_64.iso

The flashing processes seems to go okay, no errors reported in the dev tools or otherwise.

Image is avaialble for free, but with registration at vmware.com

Drive was formatted to FAT32

LinuxLive USB creates a bootable and working drive.

I noticed that when plugged into a PC, the USB drive created with etcher is not recognized (asks to be formatted), while the one created with LinuxLive looks like a regular usb drive with files on it.

Hi,

had the same problem today with the latest VMware-VMvisor-Installer-6.7.0-8169922.x86_64.iso (SHA256SUM=884ead30532f4a5c2152e4ac450839a0062aba3ae859b5fa5e233ce4275c8cb6).

Etcher and also dd can’t create a bootable USB-Stick from the ISO file (“It looks like this is not a bootable image. The image does not appear to contain a partition table, and might not be recognized or bootable by your device.” is the warning you will get in Etcher, no warning at all with dd) …

But there is a fast and easy solution: Use unetbootin from [https://unetbootin.github.io] – it works, also on macOS. 😃

Tested & Confirmed, no problem to boot into ESXi 6.7 on my Mac.
