[QUOTE="Beatles4Life, post: 1545522, member: 3126"] [color="#660099"][FONT="Georgia"]I've just downloaded Mavericks, and am now in the process of backing everything up and doing software updates before I begin the installation process. However, before I install Mavericks, I want to make a bootable USB drive. I've tried using DiskMaker X, as well as using Disk Utility and various Terminal commands involving the create media programme, but I'm not having any luck. I'm currently running Snow Leopard on a 3 year old MacBook Pro. The USB stick in question is an 8 GB San Disk Cruzer Force. My question is this: is there another way to create a bootable USB drive, or should I just back everything up on my external hard drive (and use Time Machine as a second option) and then install Mavericks and create the USB drive from there? Thanks in advance for any ideas or suggestions.[/FONT][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
