    iOS only runs on mobile devices. It does not run on Macs.

     

    Windows can be install on a Mac but it does not read disk formatted for Mac.

     

    What are you attempting to do here?

     

    Maybe if you explain your ultimate goal we might be able to suggest alternatives.

    Either you don't understand or misuse just what iOS is, it is only found on iPad, iPhone, iPod and does not run on Macs in any way, and as far as we here the only operating system of interest is Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 or above.

     

    There are forums for iPad and if you have a notebook then you want MacBook Pro forum.

     

    As for Windows, there is a forum for "Boot Camp" to set aside and use part of your hard drive for Windows to run natively.
