You can boot your Mac from the new drive by rebooting while holding down the Option key when you see the OS X Startup Manager (the screen showing all bootable drives), choose the one with the Lion-installer icon.What if you don’t have a copy of the Lion installer in /Applications? If you previously moved the Install Mac OS X Lion app to a different folder or drive, Lion DiskMaker may be able to find the installer on its own if so, you see a dialog box indicating that location, and you just click Use This Copy. Otherwise, Lion DiskMaker will let you manually navigate to the Lion installer app or-if you previously extracted the InstallESD.dmg file (the disk image containing the Lion installer data) from the installer app-to the installer image. Once you’ve selected the installer app or disk image, Lion DiskMaker proceeds as described above.(If you haven’t read our article on manually making a bootable Lion installer, you get an InstallESD.dmg file by digging inside the Mac App Store version of the Lion installer app.

Again, you won’t see a progress bar.Īlternatively, if you have a Mac that shipped with Lion-so you don’t have the standalone installer-you can obtain the InstallESD.dmg file using our instructions for creating a bootable Lion install drive for newer Macs.)Lion DiskMaker works well, and, in fact, creates a nicer bootable drive than you get by performing the procedure manually. Instead, you’ll see a file named Copy in progress, please wait… Once this file disappears, Lion DiskMaker performs a few other tweaks, such as giving the disk a Lion-installer-volume icon. Spinning cube gifįinally, Lion DiskMaker displays a message that your bootable drive is ready. You can boot from the DVD by inserting it into your Mac, restarting, and holding down the C key at startup to force your Mac to boot from the optical drive.Choose Create A Boot Disk, and you’re prompted to choose a volume: a USB thumb drive, an external hard drive, or a partition on another drive. After doing so, you also see a big, scary warning that this procedure will of course erase the contents of the chosen volume. But that warning also notes that if you’ve chosen a partition of a drive, the process will also erase all other partitions on that drive, as Lion DiskMaker will repartition the drive into a single volume. (A beta version, 1.7b1, of Lion DiskMaker allows you to use a partition on a multi-volume drive without affecting the other partitions.)Click Erase Then Create The Disk to proceed.
