\n<\/a>Quite a while ago I wrote<\/a> about how to create OS X Recovery Disks for Lion.<\/p>\n

The procedure has been identical for Mountain Lion and it simply could not be easier…until now, that is.<\/p>\n

Guillaume Gete has created an even simpler automated AppleScript with a simple interface that will make the bootable disk for you, called Lion DiskMaker.<\/p>\n

\nThe app can be downloaded from his site<\/a>, hosting the free 4MB app.<\/p>\n

Once you start the app, it will use Spotlight to do a quick search and find any OS X installers, for Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion.<\/p>\n

If it finds multiple versions it will prompt you for which version you wish to create.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nOnce selected, it will confirm the location of the installer, in case you wish to choose a different one.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nAfter that, a choice needs to be made whether a DVD or Flash drive will be used.
\nNot much of a choice really, right?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

Pick the kind of disk you will be using, and then hey Presto!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nMost definitely a great and easy way to create installer disks for recovery.<\/p>\n

Props to Guillaume and his team of testers, designers and translators for this tool!<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
