[Avid-L2] OTish: Diskmaker X to make a bootable OS Install USB

 

I got turned onto a free piece of software today called Diskmaker X.  I takes the hassle out of making a bootable OS Install USB.  I had gone through the hoops of some of the terminal based scripts and other suggestions on the net and I recently found the USB stick I made for 10.8 didn't work right.  Well this program does everything for you.  I launched it and it asked which OS 108,10.9,10.10 I wanted to make a bootable installer for.  In this case I said 10.8 and it found the install on another startup disk and asked which usb drive I wanted to install onto.  Two clicks and it's chugging away.  No muss no fuss.  I can't confirm my stick will work yet but according to the tech that showed me this he uses it all the time so I'm pretty confident it will work.  Hope this helps somebody else.
