DiskMaker X is an application programmed with AppleScript designed to help you build a bootable drive from an OS X installer application. As soon as you launch the application, it tries to find the OS X Install program with Spotlight. Then, it proposes to create a bootable install disk. It’s useful, say, if you want to re-install your OS on different Mac at home or at work. Or if you have a crappy internet connection !
To build a bootable disk, you’ll need an 8 GB (minimum) USB thumb key drive, or a USB, Firewire or Thunderbolt drive or an SD-Card.
WARNING! DiskMaker X will erase the volume or the drive you chose, according to the options you chose. Don’t forget to backup your data first!
Latest version
