The process took around five minutes for me using an external USB drive. Finally, Lion DiskMaker displays a message that your bootable drive is ready. 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.
A Finder window with a name similar to E429CB27–52A4–42C8–849E–2486E7C3841A will appear, gradually populated by the Lion installer and the system files required to make the drive bootable. (A beta version, 1.7b1, of Lion DiskMaker allows you to use a partition on a multi-volume drive without affecting the other partitions.)Ĭlick Erase Then Create The Disk to proceed. 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. After doing so, you also see a big, scary warning that this procedure will of course erase the contents of the chosen volume. 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.
