[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1531828, member: 56379"] Yes. The bootable USB stick is exactly like having a bootable DVD (just like the Snow Leopard disk you have). If for some reason your hard drive completely failed in the future...you would be able to boot your computer from the USB stick...and then be able to reinstall Mountain Lion on the replacement drive. This comes in particularly handy if (for some reason)...you temporarily couldn't get on the internet to redownload ML from the Mac App store. HTH, - Nick [/QUOTE]
