[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1509308, member: 42497"] The advantage of having a bootable flash drive is imagine your hard drive fails after the warranty expires and you fit a new drive. With no network settings pretty hard to do a recovery. Plug in flash drive, boot from it and away you go with fresh install. Of course when OS X.9 is released, simply download, format the flash drive again and make that bootable. Another reason personally great supporter of SuperDuper to clone your entire drive to an external drive. SD does not copy the Recovery Partition. [/QUOTE]
