Is there a way to make a recovery disk from the files on the computer? Seems like disk utility should be able to create a clone of the OS and limited utilities to boot the computer with. I assume it will have some utilities, etc. So guess I go to the Apple store tomorrow and hope they have this DVD in stock. So, I guess I need to get a full installation DVD with more than just the *.dmg file on it. It just made a copy of the DVD with the *.dmg file on it. So, I tried you solution above, using the disk image burned to the DVD and an 8GByte USB flash drive. it booted the system from the internal disk. I tried it again and this time used the "D" key to see if it would take me to the diagnostics. When holding down the "C" key during the boot it was supposed to boot, but it brought in the system from the internal drive. OK, I tried to boot to this new DVD and got the same result. So I am burning it to a DVD and I suspect that I can use it to run disk diagnostic and repair my internal drive.ĭisk Manager reports that the DVD is bootable. I still have the file in my download folder. It downloaded an installation program named Mac OSXUpd10.6.8.dmg. Today I updated the Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with an update to v 1.1. But, I think I have another solution that I just stumbled on.
