Create an Install Disk just for Utilities

Is there a way to create a startup disk just so I can boot off of it to Repair Permissions / Repair Disk and make use of the other non Install utilities available on the original Install Disks?
I worry that the install disk will go bad over time if I continue to boot from it.
Using 10.5.1
Thanks

My Leopard install DVD was very flaky so I used a small partition on my external to clone it in case I had to fix something before the replacement DVD arrived. The directions are here. You can also make a DVD copy of the Leopard install disk if your drive will burn dual layer DVDs.
You can Repair Permissions using Disk Utility from your internal drive so you don't need to use the Leopard DVD for that purpose.

  • Can you play Diablo with the PC disk or is there a separate disk just for Mac?

    Can you play Diablo with the PC disk or is there a separate disk just for Mac?

    Hi DJNIKKo,
    I have the Diablo III install DVD - it's both Mac & PC install.
    But warning - many players (on a PC board) dislike the game & stopped playing it already...
    I played thru all the chars on 'normal' and started playing the 2nd difficulty, but running away (=being chased) by enemies is NOT my style of playing a game...
    Check some youTube videos & see if that's what you want to do...
    The ratio of hit points (HP) for enemies is:
    1. normal - 20 HP
    2.nightmare - 6000 HP
    3.**** - 150 000 HP
    4.inferno - 1 000 000 HP
    This is for the same enemy...
    (I have the Diablo 3 walkthru guide).
    So this game is't for me...

  • HT5622 My family shared an itunes account and now i'm moving out and have created a new account just for myself. Is there a way to transfer my previous purchases on the other account to my new account?

    My family shared an Itunes account and now i'm moving out and have created a new account solely for myself. Is there a way to transfer my previous purchases on the family account to my new account?

    In order to continue to play and sync the music you purchased with your old account, you'll need to authorize your new computer/iTunes library to do so.  You can do this by choosing Store -> Authorize This Computer and then entering in your old account credentials.
    That's all you should need to.  Then just create your own account and start purchasing and using it the same you have with the old one.

  • How do I create an install disk from recovery partition to install on a blank hd

    So, my hard drive is slowly dying . . . about all I'm able to access is the recovery partition. I bought a new hard drive to replace it, but no longer have the install disks that came with the computer. How do I make install disks from the recovery partition that I can use to install Mountain Lion back onto the new hard drive?

    You have two possibilities:
    1. Open App Store > Purchases and download Mountain Lion. When the download has finished, open Lion Diskmaker to make a bootable Mountain Lion USB drive > http://blog.gete.net/lion-diskmaker-us/
    2. Download Recovery Disk Assistant from the Support website to create a Recovery HD on your USB drive.
    The difference between them is that the first contains OS X Mountain Lion, so you won't have to download Mountain Lion from the App Store when you are going to install Mountain Lion

  • HT4407 When installing Windows 7 using Bootcamp, I get message: "Need 64-bit Windows Installation USB drive or DVD."  I thought my install disk was for 32 or 64 bit.  What does this mean?

    It means you need the 64 bit Version of Windows on a USB stick or DVD.

  • Problems making Solaris 10 install disk for x86

    I have an Ultra 40 M2. I made a boot/install DVD disk with Solaris 10 for x86.
    The system just doesn't recognize it at all, like there is nothing in the DVD drive.
    What am I doing wrong?
    The DVD drive does recognize other DVDs, just not the Solaris 10 install one (I created two install disks to no avail)

    How are you burning the DVD. What software/options.
    Theres a howto here

  • Help!  Why is Macbook not starting, making clicking sounds, and rejecting install disk??

    I was working on my Macbook (OS 10.4.11) when the screen froze.  I forced a shutdown.  When I try to power it up again, I get a blank screen (not sure if gray or blue; looks sort of in between) and hear clicking noises. Eventually, a flashing question mark appears.
    I found a post on this problem that said the hard drive was looking for instructions to start up (hence the clicking noises) and an Apple article about possible solutions, <http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1440>, but none of the steps worked.
    I then booted up again, inserted Install Disk 1 for Tiger, and forced a shutdown again so that I could boot up with "C" held down see if I could solve the problem from the Uilities menu on the Install Disk.  However, when I pressed the power button to start up again, the computer just spit out the Install Disk (even with "C" held down).
    Can anyone tell me (1) what the problem seems to be with the computer and/or the CD drive; (2) whether a low-tech type like me might be able to fix it if I can get the Install Disk to run, or whether I just have to take it to my local Mac shop?  The computer is no longer under warranty, so getting it repaired will probably be expensive. 
    Thanks so much for any good advice out there!

  • Can I boot imac from macbook install disk 1?

    I'm trying to install BootCamp on my intel iMac but it keeps failing at the disk partition, now having repaired permissions and verified the disk the help file tells me to boot my iMac from a startup disk and then load a disk utility. I can't find my Install Disk 1 for my iMac but I do have one for my intel Macbook. Is there a utility prog that sits on the disk that is not device dependent or would it just not work? thanks in advance if anybody can help me....

    Hi,
    the OSX discs that come with the Intel-Macs are usually bound to this Mac or at least this line of Mac and do not work on other Macs.
    Therefor your chances are not good to use the MacBook disc.
    Sorry to say you have to start a thorough search for the iMac disc.

  • Kernal panic with install disk

    Hello.
    I've successfully used my SL install disk to launch Utilities on my G5 and switch Firmware Password on, so I know that the DVD is OK - it's the Apple original. When I try on my MBP, the boot repeatedly stalls on the gray Apple screen then gives me a kernal panic message to switch off. The install disk mounts OK when I've booted from the HD but won't restart from the disk. They are both running SL 10.6.7 with everything up to date. The MBP works fine in every other respect but I can't set a firmware password on it.
    Thanks.

    Sorry, did I get the name of my Mac wrong?
    Model Name: iMac
      Model Identifier: iMac8,1
      Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
      Processor Speed: 3.06 GHz
      Number Of Processors: 1
      Total Number Of Cores: 2
      L2 Cache: 6 MB
      Memory: 4 GB
      Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz
    The disk is Apple retail.

  • Create a dedicated connection pool for initialization blocks

    Hi,
    I'm using OBIEE11.6, then I set a session initialization block in RPD, and this block is based on connection pool '"My_DB".
    "My_CP"'.
    when Consistency Checking it warning as follow:
    Initialization Block 'Authorization' uses Connection Pool '"My_DB".
    "My_CP"' which is used for report queries. This may impact query performance.
    but there is no table under the connection pool "My_CP",so I don't know why it say it's used for report queries? and how to remove the warning?
    any one know it?
    Thank you!

    Hi Leo,
    Generally, when there is only one connection pool for a database in physical layer, the BI Server understands this to be the only connection pool for queries (I do not think this really checks if there are underlying tables. I think this is because there is a way to add tables to a database by right clicking on connection pool and choosing import metadata.).
    As a good practise, when you have init block pointing to a specific database please make sure that you create another connection pool just for the use by init blocks. This would make sure that the report queries and init blocks do not go on a single pool.
    So, for your case, create a second connection pool and point your init blocks to the second one. Yes, you cannot point to the first one as it is kind of reserved by BI Server for reports. (Unless you change this in the Options menu of .rpd)
    Hope this helps.
    Thank you,
    Dhar

  • How can I create a start up disk for a old intel core duo running 10.5.8.. Computer works fine, but can't find install disk.

    How can I create a start up disk for a old intel core duo running 10.5.8.. Computer works fine, but can't find install disk. Want to use internal disk drive or USD flash drive.

    Try calling 1-800-676-2775.  Give the serial number and thy *may* still burn you new install disks designed just for the hrdware in your system (for a fee, something like $160 per disk).  *May* is only because they may not burn disks for Leopard anymore.
    If they do not burn them for you, you can buy Leopard disks off Amazon or eBay for about $200.
    Have you considered Snow Leopard?.  Those disks only cost $19 (single user) or $29 (5-user license) through Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE.
