Greetings y'all, I've been experiencing some random weirdness and decided to start from scratch. To that end, I faked the Mac app store into letting me download 10.7.3 and am attempting to burn it to either a DVD or a 32 GB SD card (smallest one I have available right now).
When I drop the InstallESD.dmg file into disk utility, select burn, insert a DVD and select burn, it goes into the verification process for about 15 minutes before presenting an error indicating that the disk could not be created. I treated the first DVD as a coaster, and verified the "InstallESD.dmg" image before trying again and obtaining the same result (or lack there of). The DVD mounts and the content seems plausible, but I don't know if I want to kill my partition and learn in mid install that the verification error message was actually validly issued. I then tried copying the image to my SD card, but seem to be going about this wrong. I select the restore tab and drop the .dmg file into the source area. When I attempt to drop the unnamed SD volume onto the target field, it appears to land in the source area, and simultaneously activate the "first aid" tab. I tried the outer volume (item reads 32 GB reader), but could not determine how to remain in the restore tab and render the "restore" button active. I tried reformatting the sd card as "OSX Journaled", but still no luck. Assuming that I eventually create a bootable SD card, how can I quickly boot to it? Is there a command key combo like command-r or command-c? I tried holding option during power up, but vo did not start, or respond to command-f5. I could probably boot the recovery partition, and exit to have vo active in the drive selection prompt, but thought I'd ask whether there's a quicker method? Best regards.
