Message: <blockquote data-quote="New2TheMac" data-source="post: 1022011" data-attributes="member: 139905">When I've used the disk utility or reinstalled Mac OSX the screen shuts off after a while because I'm not using the keys or trackpad.  I don't want to keep having to move the trackpad so the screen comes back on because the computer would be writing data then.  Is there any way to turn sleep or whatever you'd call it off while using the disk utility or reinstalling Mac OSX?Note: when using my computer normally like I am now this isn't an issue because I have the computer set to not put the monitor to sleep unless there has been three hours without computer use.</blockquote>
