[QUOTE="danielkn, post: 1440526, member: 269403"] Thanks for the link. So by doing this, the flash drive will work exactly like the cd I have experience with? I might have already read another link, but I'd just like to confirm - an 8gb drive should be enough? And how would I be able to revert it back to a normal'ol flash drive (and not an os installer)? Any advantages of doing this over using a DVD? And last question from me for the night: Is there a link that could instruct me on the proper way to completely wipe the hard drive and start like new when I'm installing mountain lion? The last time I did it, I remember seeing lots of this and that about partitions and journaled that doesn't mean anything to me. I'd much more appreciate it if there were a guide that spoon fed me which options to select. [/QUOTE]
