That’s it! Enjoy your Mac OS X Lion Install USB drive.Codes will be updated in the future, if you are watching this video 5, 10, 20 years from now you will find the updated code here. We are only missing the original background now, so hit Command-J to open the window settings, select Image as the background option, and drag the MacOSX_Media_Background.png file into the picture picker next to the background options.Īdjust the file icon size to your preferred one, I chose 128×128 myself. Open the Terminal, and type the following commands to hide the rest of the files in the USB drive’s root folder: cd "/Volumes/Mac OS X Install/" sudo chflags hidden Library Packages private System *.png The original USB drive sold by Apple has only a single file, the Install Mac OS X Lion app visible when you open the drive: Now select your newly made USB drive, hit Command-I to Get Info, click the generic icon to select it and press ⌘V to overwrite it with the Apple version. Download this zip, uncompress it and open the icon file in the Preview, then press ⌘ A to select all the sizes and hit ⌘C to Copy them. This is how it should look like:Ĭlick the Restore button and go grab a cup of coffee, this should take a while. When it completes, you’ll have your own Mac OS X Lion Install USB thumb drive. Next drag your newly formated USB drive’s only volume to the Destination field. Make sure the partition scheme selected is GUID Partition Table, you can check this by clicking the Options… button below the partition map.Ĭlick OK / Apply to partition and erase your USB drive.Īfter the USB drive is ready, go to the Applications folder, find the Install Mac OS X Lion application you have bought from the AppStore, right click it and select the Show Package Contents option.īack in the Disk Utility, select the Restore tab, then drag and drop the InstallESD.dmg file from the Contents/SharedSupport folder into the Source input field. InstallESD.dmg requires a 4.3 Gb partition as the minimum. This allows you to split your USB drive and use the second partition for your other files and documents and still be able to boot and install Mac OS X Lion from it. Update: You can have more than one partition on your target disk with this method. Change the volume name to Mac OS X Install. Click your USB drive in the drive list at the left, and select the Partition tab. Insert your USB drive into a USB port, and launch the Disk Utility. If you have already bought (and upgraded to) the Lion, you can create your own Mac OS X Lion Install drive using any spare 4.3Gb+ (8Gb to be safe) USB thumb drive. Apple has released the Mac OS X Lion USB Drive, but I doubt it’ll be a hit for $69. Ouch.
