How to create an alternate startup drive?

I upgraded to 10.8.3 from the Internet and therefore do not have a boot DVD since buying Snow Leapard.
I need to create an alternate startup disk.
How do I do this with Mountain Lion using an external HD (WD myBook) connected via USB?
TIA!!

Clone your current system to your external drive. This will erase the target drive so be sure you don't have anything on the drive that you don't want to lose. Alternatively, create a separate partition on the drive for the clone. You will need enough free space on the drive to hold everything that is on your startup volume.
Clone Lion/Mountain Lion using Restore Option of Disk Utility
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
     1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu then press the Continue
         button.
     2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
     3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
     4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it
         to the Destination entry field.
     5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
         the Source entry field.
     6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.

How do I create a new startup drive?

Once I get a larger drive installed to replace the 80 GB drive that came with my G5, what is the safest way to create the new startup drive?

Gi-
The best way to get going on a new drive is, after formatting the drive with Disk Utility, download SuperDuper and clone the old drive to the new drive.
The free version is excellent, and totally reliable,
The paid version makes keeping backup clones easy.

How to Create a Bootable Flash Drive to do a clean install of Lion. I have tried to use the InstallESD.dmg but it still will not do a clean install so that I do not have to do a reinstall from the Recovery (That just re downloads and takes over 6 hours)?

How to Create a Bootable Flash Drive to do a clean install of Lion. I have tried to use the InstallESD.dmg but it still will not do a clean install so that I do not have to do a reinstall from the Recovery (That just re downloads and takes over 6 hours)?
The system I'm have is a Mac-mini that had SL on it and no SuperDrive. I have also call Apple Support and they have really have not been to much help over 1st did my up grade to Lion and Installed the Lion Server.... it lost my SSL that I paid for and kill almost on of my server setting, plus kill all my web servers (using apache vhosts), and not to say the LDAP will even let remote users login to your laptops.
PS: There is no way that I'm going to buy a Install USB from Apple... They have over billed me over $300.00 because the Apps Store still has bugs (Glad I did not write that App/Service)
If there is anyone that can give in the information to create a USB install stick, I would be very thinkful.

Here you are bro, courtesy of "softpedia.com"....brilliant site!!!
If you ever had problems with your Mac OS X installation you know that the first thing you should do is to check the startup volume using Disk Utility.
After the check has ended and, if the errors exceed a certain level of seriousness, the Disk Utility application will require you to restart your Mac and use its Mac OS X Install disc counterpart.
Other users may have to reinstall OS X altogether, but will find, or already know, that their SuperDrive (a CD/DVD reader and write combo drive) is not functioning properly and it will not be able to read the Install disc.
Although this might happen to Mac OS X Leopard users due to faultyhardware, the vast majority of problematic SuperDrives will be encountered inside Snow Leopard running Macs.
This is due to the updated SuperDrive firmware included in either the Install disc or the software updates one has to install to reach the latest version of OS X, namely 10.6.6.
This can be fixed by flashing the SuperDrive’s stock firmware using free command line tools that one can find for free online (I will write about this process also, but at a later time because this article only focuses on allowing you to create your own alternative USB boot disc).
If you are reading this last bit of information with skepticism, than you should know that it happened to me too. Despite all my tries to make it work properly, the SuperDrive kept on munching any inserted DVDs and just popped them out in about twenty seconds.
The workaround to this issue was to create my own Leopard bootable USB memory stick. I am not suggesting a Snow Leopard bootable stick mainly because there are lots of users that have decided to buy the cheaper, Upgrade version, which I have not tested and, therefore, I’m not sure if it will work properly once written to a USB disk.
And now, here are the exact steps you should follow in order to obtain a fully bootable Leopard (or Lion) Install disc.
Step 1 (If you already have the Leopard install disc DMG file you can skip to Step 2)
Launch Disk Utility (you can find it inside /Applications/Utilities). Here select the Leopard Install disc in the list of drives on the left and click on the New Image menu entry at the top of the window. A save message will appear where you will have to select the Desktop as a destination.
Step 2
After Disk Utility has finished creating the Leopard DMG, insert your USB stick and erase all data and reformat the disk. To do this select the USB in the list of drives on the left and, after clicking on the Erase tab on the right side of the window, choose the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format and click the Erase button beneath.
Step 3
After the USB has been reformatted, download the SuperDuper app from HERE and launch it. Once SuperDuper starts, you will only have to select the DMG in the Copy drop-down menu, your USB memory stick on the right and hit the “Copy Now” button.
One can also use Disk Utility for this task but creating a bootable USB stick failed 2 out 4 times when copying the DMG to the stick (with the exact same settings each time). Creating the bootable stick using SuperDuper proved to be the perfect way to do it because it worked each of the 4 times I tested it.
The steps above can also be used to create a bootable Mac OS X Lion USB by using the InstallESD.dmg image you can find inside the Lion installer (named “Install Mac OS X Lion.app”) downloaded from the Mac App Store in the /Applications folder.
To locate the InstallESD.dmg right click the Lion installer, select the “Show Package Contents” entry, go inside the “Contents” folder, and from there into the “SharedSupport” folder. Inside this folder you can find the InstallESD.dmg you can use to create your own bootable Mac OS X Lion USB stick. To do so, go to the third step described above and use the InstallESD.dmg as the DMG to be copied to your USB disc.
That’s it! Once the process ends you will have a fully bootable Leopard (or Lion) USB disk that you can use as an alternative to the Apple’s DVD Install disc that comes bundled with all Macs.
To use your newly created bootable disk you will have to restart the Mac, press and hold the OPTION key until the StartupManager appears. Here, select the Mac OS X Install disk using your keyboard arrows and press return to start from the selected drive.

Alternate startup drive

I am trying to install OSX on a LaCie drive LaCie Mobile Hard Drive, Design by F.A. Porsche 80GB 5400RPM Hi-Speed FireWire as an alternate startup drive so I used Disk Utilities on my computer's built in hard drive. I have run the latest LaCie firmware updater, and still the OSX install disk says cryptically that it cannot install system OS X on this drive -- does not elaborate on what is wrong, but just won't do it. Is there a workaround here? Am I missing something? Or are LaCie drives just incomatible?

Open Disk Utility. Select the drive from the left side list and click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of partitions to one (1), the format type to Mac OS Extended. Click on the Options button and be sure the partition map is set to GUID and click on OK. Click on the Partition button and wait for the volume to mount on the Desktop. Now do the following:
1. Select the startup volume from the left side list.
2. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
3. Drag the startup volume from the list to the Source input field.
4. Drag the external drive volume from the list to the Destination field.
5. Click on the Restore button.
The above will clone your startup volume to the external drive.

How to create a new startup-disc?

Hello folks!
I'm working with Leopard (10.5.2) and have a new GeForce 8800Gt installed. Because of this my Leopard-installation disk does not work any more. For the 8800GT one has to use 10.5.2 and on the installation-disk is only 10.5! Another reason is that there must be the graphics update installed. So now I can't use my disk repair software "from outside" also my DiskWarrior startup-CD does not work anymore - for the same reason.
Has anybody got an idea how I can create a new StartUp disk with Leopard 10.5.2 on it? So I could put my DiskWarrior on this CD and repair my start-volume, if necessary?! Any help is extremely welcome!
Jones

Making a bootable DVD or CD is not a trivial task. There was a utility for Panther (10.3) called BootCD that allowed one to easily do this, but it has never worked for any later OS X.
To do it for Leopard is going to need some pretty high-level programming skills. Im pretty sure it's beyond a simple "how-to" guide that one might expect to be able to find online.
Stick with the bootable external drive.

How to create bootable USB thumb drive from Lion on Mac Mini 2011?

Hello folks
Yesterday my new Mac Mini (Core i7 2,7 Ghz, 4 GB RAM, ATI Radeon HD6630M 256 MB) arrived. It replaces my old Mac Mini (Core Duo 1,83 Ghz, 2 GB RAM, Intel GMA950 64 MB). One day I'll replace the 500 GB 5400 RPM HDD in this Mini by an Intel SSD drive (just like I did with my previous Mini). I'll do a fully clean install then (formatting the SSD drive in Disk Utility and then installing Lion on it from a bootable USB thumb drive). The only problem is I can't seem to download Lion for free from the Mac AppStore (MAS) although I have bought a new Mac Mini which came with Lion pre-installed. I know how to create a bootable USB thumb drive with Lion on it when you download it from the MAS. But that's the problem... I can't seem to download Lion from the MAS for free. When I open the MAS while holding down the Option key I can download Lion but it will charge me for it. Is there any way I can download Lion from the MAS without paying for it? Since it already came with my new Mac Mini 2011 this should be possible I guess?
And will I still be able to download the iLife '11 apps (iPhoto, iMovie and Garageband) for FREE that came with my new Mac Mini when I do a fully clean install as described above? Thanks in advance.
Greetings
Jocau

After doing some research, it seems that there are only 2 WAYS to do a complete reinstall of Lion on the Mac Mini 2011 without paying for the Lion download in the Mac AppStore (i.e. recreating every partition, also the Recovery HD partition, from scratch e.g. when installing Lion on a clean HDD/SSD).
1) COMPLETELY clone the Mac Mini 2011 HDD including all of its partitions to an external drive and restore it when you want to do a complete reinstall.
2) Use the LION INTERNET RECOVERY feature built-in into new Macs that ship with Lion (this feature is present in new Macs starting from the Mac Mini 2011 and Macbook Air 2011).
OS X Lion: About Lion Recovery
Lion Internet Recovery
If you happen to encounter a situation in which you cannot start from the Recovery HD, such as your hard drive stopped responding or you installed a new hard drive without Mac OS X installed, new Mac models introduced after public availability of OS X Lion automatically use the Lion Internet Recovery feature if the Recovery HD (Command-R method above) doesn't work. Lion Internet Recovery lets you start your Mac directly from Apple's Servers. The system runs a quick test of your memory and hard drive to ensure there are no hardware issues.
Lion Internet Recovery presents a limited interface at first, with only the ability to select your preferred Wi-Fi network and, if needed, enter the WPA passphrase. Next, Lion Internet Recovery will download and start from a Recovery HD image. From there, you are offered all the same utilities and functions described above.
As with the Recovery HD, reinstallation of OS X Lion from Lion Internet Recovery requires an Internet connection. See "Supported network configurations and protocols" below.
Restoring iLife applications after Internet Restore of OS X Lion
If you reinstall Lion on a new Mac that shipped with OS X Lion installed, on an erased or replaced hard drive, you can download iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand from the Mac App Store.
After installation, start from Lion.
Double-click the App Store icon in the dock.
Enter your Apple ID and password.
Click Purchases.
If you haven't previously accepted your bundled iLife applications within the Mac App Store, you should see your iLife applications appear in the Accept portion of the screen. Click Accept.
You may be asked for your Apple ID and password once again. Your iLife applications now move to the Purchased section. These applications are part of the software that came with your Lion based computer. Your account will not be charged for them. Click Install to compete installation of your applications.
Source: Lion Recovery
It's a bit sad that these seem to be the only 2 options. Lion Internet Recovery is the preferred one here since my monthly internet traffic limit isn't a problem (but my download speed is). This problem could have been easily solved by Apple by just checking the system specs or serial number when trying to download Lion from the Mac AppStore. By using one of the 2 options in my previous sentence the Mac AppStore could see that I have a new Mac Mini 2011 that ships with Lion which would give me the option to download Lion from the Mac AppStore for free and eventually create a bootable USB thumb drive of it.

How to create a bootable thumb drive for OSx 10.7 ?

Greetings - This is my first system install without using a DVD. I've seen caveats re: making a bootable thumb drive to avoid future problems. Please refer me to an Apple document that explains how to create such a bootable thumb drive from the downloaded disc image. Thanks!

Most users create an image when they have multiple installs. You can simply drag the Install Mac OS X Lion installer from Applications to another drive or folder on your computer. Apple removes the installer after it runs.
You can always download again from Purchases in the Mac App Store (MAS).

How do I copy my startup drive to a new drive.

I have a 2009 MacPro running 10.7.5. I have a 3tb drive and would like to copy my old startup drive to it. My time machine drive has crashed and I do not have the option of copying from it.
Thanks for your help,

How to create a new system drive

I have a 4.5 yr old G5 that I want to keep for awhile, but I think its time to replace the original system drive. The second drive is a bigger and more recent drive that I want to reformat and install the latest OS X on it, then move to the top position as the system drive. I was thinking I would leave drive 2 in place and do the reformat and system install before moving it up to the top - will that work? Isn't there some concern about "master and slave" positions (or drive 0 and drive 1) when it comes to system drives? Can I reformat and install onto drive 2 and then simply move it up to the top position to then function as the system drive? Any better procedure? (I'm planning to install a new, larger drive in the lower slot after I create and move the new system drive.)
Thanks for any advice!

Hi
No need at all to move drives around (and it can be a pain to do so in the G5s anyway) - just install your new drive in the empty slot, install the system, and use System Preferences - Startup Disk to make that the boot drive. Master/slave doesn't apply to SATA systems.

now here is where i am confuse .....
ob>insertvol -L vlib -c 512 unlabeled 1-2
now how to insertvol in tapes .....by above command is this volume available to all tapes in that library.
actually i want that i have two tapes vt1 and vt2 ,both should have space 512 mb now when i take full database backup through rman ....after when vt1 becomes full it start utilizing other tape vt2 automatically.
plz helppppppppp

thank you ....but please can u check that what i have done...i am giving detail......plzzz
STEP 1)
ob> mkdev -t library -o -S 2 -a test:/d01/secure/vlib -v vlib

How to create a shared network drive and enforce it with password?

Dear All,
As stated, i would like to create shared network drive within my office to my department to share file and document. I would also like to have that network drive to be enforce by password protection. I would like this solution be native to Microsoft
before i result to any 3rd party solution.
I'm deeply grateful for anyone who can provide me with an solution or suggestion. :)
Thanks so much,
Regards,

Hi，
If you're in a domain, then as S Guna siad, you should guarantee appropriate permissions to users.
If you're not in a domain, then you can use "Password protected sharing", but this setting doesn't have effect on computers in a homegroup
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings, All networks, turn on "Password protected sharing"

HT1338 how to make space on startup drive?

how to make space on start up drive?

Use http://monolingual.sourceforge.net/ to remove unwanted languages - DO NOT remove anything else with it.
Install http://links.zero.eu.org/os-x/period/ to clear out very old log files etc
Paste the following into open Terminal (in Utilities) window and then hit return - give password when asked and hit return again - takes a while but it will list your 100 largest files:
cd / ; sudo du -caxk .[!.]* *| sort -rn | head -100
Keep backups on an external drive.
Put photos on DVDs and not your Mac.
