Bootable Disk Utilities Image 2.0 Leopard Compatible

WARNING: This imagecomes with absolutely no warranty whatsoever. You are using thisentirely at your own risk. This image was designed to help computers,and while I have done everything reasonable to ensure that it functionsas intended, I cannot test it in every situation. If this causessomething bad to happen to your computer, don\'t come crying to me. Youshould always backup your system. Remember: You get what you pay for.

WHAT IS IT?
Many operations require you to \"unmount\" your hard drive orpartition such as: Fixing, Optimizing, Defragmenting, Partitioning,Cloning and Data Recovery. There are many great tools to do thesefunctions, but to use them you either need a second operating systeminstalled or a bunch of bootable discs. To make your life easier I have compiled a bootableimage which contains as many of these tools as possible. This image canbe burnt to a DVD or cloned to a iPod/flash USB stick/harddrive/partition; the resulting product will then be bootable. BootableUtilities Image(BUI) is entirely universal--meaning it will work withintel and PPC macintosh computers--it is also entirely Leopardcompatible. Note that the image now runs Leopard (10.5.3).

HOW TO USE IT:
There are two basic options when it comes to using this image.1)Burn it to a DVD. 2)Run it from a hard drive(partition, flash,iPod...) I believe there has been a common misconception that thisimage was intended to be mounted then run from your workinginstallation. This will not work for most applications as they requireother files to be installed. You either need to burn this to DVD orcopy it to a new hard drive/partition.

Option 1:
1)Open the disk utility in /Applications/Utilities/
2)Drag this disc image into the left part of the disk utility, somewhere under your hard drive(s).
3)Make sure the image is \"unmounted\". To do this, click on the image you just dragged into the diskutility on the left side. At the very top, if the button furthest tothe right says \"eject\", click on it. Otherwise you are good to go.
4)Insert your blank DVD.
5)At the very top left of the disk utility windows click \"burn\". Make sure \"Verify burned data\" is selected. Then click \"burn\"
6)Restart your computer while holding down the \"c\" key. This willcause your computer to boot from whatever is in the cd drive.
7)Wait. It will take a while to boot up. Anywhere from 5-15 minutes depending on your machine.
8)Use the tools on the disc. They don\'t really have any help or instructions, but they should be pretty straight forward.
9)When you are done open StartupDisk and make sure the operatingsystem/hard drive you want to boot from is selected, then hit\"restart\".
~If upon restarting your computer doesn\'t boot up from your harddrive, try restarting while holding down the \"option\" key. This willgive you a list of bootable devices to restart from. Simply select your hard drive, then click the forward pointing arrow.
You can also hold down your mouse, or eject button(depending on your mac) to eject the DVD while starting up.

Option 2:
If you can boot up from a hard drive instead of a DVD I recommendit. You will find that things are much faster this way. Also, if youare planning on running this off any diskof reasonable size, I would suggest that you simply install OS X andall these tool on there. They will function more flawlessly and youwill be able to multitask while optimizing or repairing your drive.
See option 2.1 for iPods.
1)Open the disk utility in /Applications/Utilities/
2)Drag this disc image into the left part of the disk utility, somewhere under your hard drive(s).
3)Make sure the image is \"unmounted\". To do this, click on the image you just dragged into the diskutility on the left side. At the very top, if the button furthest tothe right says \"eject\", click on it. Otherwise you are good to go.
4)Click on the \"Restore\" tab. It is the one furthest to the right in the main part of the disk utility window.
5)Drag the this disc image into the \"Source:\" field. You shouldsee a green plus sign next to your cursor when it is ready to bedropped.
6)Attach your hard drive to the computer if it isn\'t already.
7)Drag your hard drive or partition from the left part of the disk utility window to the \"Destination:\" field. Again you should see a green plus sign.
7.5)It has been brought to my attention that for some hard drivetypes, you may need to format the drive differently depending on whattype of computer you plan to use this with. For intel you must do a\"GUID partition table\", for PPC you need \"Apple Partition Map\". Toformat a disk, click on the \"Erase\" tab, then on \"Options\" to access these advanced options.
8)Now click \"Restore\". You may want to either erase the drive/partition first, or enable the \"Erase Destination\" box.
9)Restart your computer while holding down the \"option\" key. It might take a little while to index your bootabledevices. When possible, select the device that we just restored thisimage too. Then click the forward arrow. It might take slightly longerthan normal to start up.
9b)If you would prefer, you may go to \"Startup Disk\" in the \"System Preferences\" and select the drive you just installed this image onto.
9.5)Word on the street is that to get your iMac G5 to boot from usbflashdrive, go to your open firmware and type: boot ud:3,\\\\:tbxi
10)Use the tools on the disc. They don\'t really have any help or instructions, but they should be pretty straight forward.
11a)For some reason, it seems as the the restart function in the Startup Disk application is working all of a sudden.  If it works for you, great. Otherwise, read on.
11b)When you are done you may launch the \"Startup Disk\" application to select which disk you would like to startup from. Note that the restart function of Startup Disk doesn\'t work. You will need to next open the terminal and type: \"reboot now\" ~ without the quotes.
~If upon restarting your computer doesn\'t boot up from your harddrive, try restarting while holding down the \"option\" key. This willgive you a list of bootable devices to restart from. Simply select your hard drive, then click the forward pointing arrow.
Option 2.1:
Supposedly you can use a program called DasBoot with iPods to copythe tools over while leaving the iPod usable as a music player. Ihaven\'t tested this option yet. If someone wants to report back to meI would be happy to post something.


COMMENTS:
*You should always read the compatibly reports for a program before using it. Not all of these tools support all macs.
*Don\'t try to launch or quit \"QuickerPicker\".
*Boomerang probably wont be registerd for you. The main reason forthat is that there is no good registration laying around these days. Idid leave it on there because it should be fully functional and if youhappen to have your own copy of Boomerang than you should be able toenter your information.
*If you are going to run this from a hard drive and you have anadditional 128MB of free space beyond what you need for the files onhere, I would advise the you use it to appease TechTool Pro. If youdon\'t you should still be able to use it just fine.
*I plan to release periodic updates as I change various importantparts of the image. However, I find it unlikely that I will release andupdate of this entire image just because a new program update came out.I do highly advise that you download all program updates and installthem. Most of them are pretty straight forward, or you can read \"ForThose Who Care\" to see what individual files you need for any oneprogram. Also, I will probably post any information of this kind athttp://www.dostuffright.com/BUI
*Questions, comments, suggestions, ideas and complaints are allvery welcome. Please read the \"For Those Who Care\" before contactingme though. I may answer your question in there.

You are more than welcome to modify and/or redistribute this imagein part or in whole. Just keep in mind that I spent an obscene amountworking on this. I also used things that other people spent a long timeon. So remember to give credit where credits due.
