Hi everyone, my high Sierra setup got corrupted and I need a USB drive for it. Since I can't use another Mac, I managed to install Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (I understand it's outdated, but the laptop I borrowed already had it installed, so I needed a fast solution to keep working). If possible, I'd like to create a USB without using a Mac so I can restore my laptop via Linux. Many will say Linux is better, and I agree, but I have certain Mac programs that I rely on regularly – Macbook 6.1 Model a1342. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I might have acted before I had all the information... I just tested it and it doesn't work. I only tried it and it started Ubuntu, not the recovery mode. Got any other suggestions?

No, I didn't press the power button after starting to hold the keys.

Maybe I could run it in a virtual environment?

Yes. I've attempted it several times. It's likely my recovery partition is compromised.

Yes, you can create an installer USB file.

This method involves running a virtual machine with the newest version of Mac OS X. You'll need software like VirtualBox or VMware to achieve this. A convenient option for accessing both Windows and Mac OS functionalities on Linux.
