My old MacBook Air was crashed and I want to reinstall os from it. I just downloaded .dmg file of High Serria. How can I make a bootable USB from it?

Did you download the DMG from Apple directly? You may have to mount it to show the installer.

Thanks. got it.

p.s how much time it takes? It is running for two hours and still not completed.

[update] Managed to get it done with Spam Product, which shows a progress bar during file writing.
