Making your own Lion USB Boot Disk, Free<p class=”caps”><img class=”alignright size-full wp-image-120089″ title=”lion-boot” src=”http://cdn1.mobilemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/lion-boot.jpg” alt=”" width=”440″ height=”165″/>After shelling out a measly $30 for OSX Lion, going through a week of transitions and quirks and perhaps feeling a little unnerved with this cloud computing thing; not having a physical disk to go with your purchase. So, why would you have to go and pay again for a USB bootable copy when Apple releases it later this month? You don’t, and you wont, not with this handy little tool called <a rel=”nofollow” target=”_blank” href=”http://blog.gete.net/lion-diskmaker-us/”>Lion Diskmaker</a>. It’s a simple app that extracts the “necessary embryonic Lion items” from the package you previously downloaded from the App Store, then writes them to your USB drive or a DVD. Then of course, you have your physical copy of Lion, not just a virtual DMG installer. If you’ve already installed Lion you may have noticed that <a rel=”nofollow” target=”_blank” href=”http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2389178,00.asp”>your installer has disappeared</a>, yeah, Apple did that. What you will have to do is load the App Store on another computer, then re-download Lion again.</p>
