hey guys johnathan it was TL date I'm going to show you guys how to create a bootable OS 10 mountain lion USB install disk and this is useful in case you want to do a fresh install or if you're just upgrading multiple Macs it will make your life easier now you will need a USB Drive that is 8 gigabytes or bigger simply because the file is just over 4 gigs and won't work on a 4 gigabyte USB thumb drive now the next thing you'll need is obviously to purchase and download OS 10 mountain line from the Mac App Store I've already done that but if you were to buy it you go ahead and click here but ask if you want to purchase it so on and so forth and then it will download to your computer you're actually going to want to close out of the installer and actually head over to your Applications folder which we can see right here and look for the install OS 10 mountain lion little icon right there we're going to right click go over to show package contents and then we're going to look for the shared support folder and this is actually the file we want right here so it's going to double click this to mount it to your desktop from there we're going to want to head over to Disk Utility and the easiest way to find that is to head up to the spotlight section type in disk which you guys can see right here and then select Disk Utility and then look for our USB thumb drive so once we have that selected head over to the partition tab select one partition then we can title it call it ml USB installed you can obviously title it whatever you want now we're going to go to the options tab select GUI D partition table and then go ahead and click apply it's going to ask us one more time and then hit partition now once that's complete we're going to head over to the little tab below the install ESD dmg click right here head over to restore and then we're going to want to make sure that this is lined up right here drag it over to the destination click back here and you can see it's going to write that onto the USB Drive so go to hit restore then we're going to wait for this this should take probably I'd say around five to ten minutes depending on how fast our USB Drive is but besides that that is pretty much it you just created a mountain-lion USB bootable thumb drive so if you guys enjoyed this video please leave a thumbs up as it does help the channel out if you missed part one which was actually me showing you how to create a partition to install mountain lion on there but still keep lying on your hard drive go and check this video out right here and I've cited for that I will see you guys later you
