  How do you make a Boot disc after you installed

  Posted by Robin Lewis on July 21, 2011 at 7:50 pm

  I foolishly installed my OSX Lion as soon as it download, how do i now get access to that download file to make a install disc, or is it too late?

  Lion creates a recovery partition rather than a boot disk. Hold down option when restarting and ‘recovery’ will show up as an option. Many, if not more, features from a boot disk are to be found there – and it is much faster than using a boot disk, for sure. Don’t have a direct link to building a bootable disk, but I think I’ve read it’s possible via Disk utility.
