Hi Geoff and Others, Here's the link to Dan Frakes' Macworld article, "How to make a bootable Mountain Lion install drive". (Use Safari reader with Command-Shift-R to read the article): http://www.macworld.com/article/1167857/how_to_make_a_bootable_mountain_lion_install_drive.html
I don't think method 1 with disk utility is accessible, but method 2 using Carbon Copy Cloner should be. (And even though CCC is now $39.99 or $29.99 through till August 12, you can still download it as a fully functioning free trial). Interestingly, in the comments the author said, "SuperDuper will work for cloning a hard drive, but it's not the right tool for making a bootable install drive. The three tools mentioned i nthe article are your best choices." HTH.
