Hi Geoff

Just out of interest, do you happen to have a thumb drive or external hard 
drive on which you could try this test?  As for that Lion Diskmaker, I think it 
was just written by somebody who has far too much time on their hands. :)

I copied the "InstallESD.dmg" file to my desktop and inserted an 8GB SD card.

Next, I launched disk utility and in the delete tab selected "macOS journaled". 
 All appeared to have gone well up to this point; I have an empty 7.8 GB 
partition.  Next, I went into the restore tab, and here's where it gets weird.  
I can copy/paste the file from the desktop into the source field, but then when 
I attempt to drag/drop the SD partition into the target field, the target 
remains empty, and the InstallESD.dmg is replaced with the name of the SD 
partition that I intend to be the target.  I'm assuming that I'm missing a 
step, or that there's a trick to this, since it worked fine when I was creating 
the Lion DVD.

Can anyone suggest a work-around, or do I need to grab that Lion Disk Maker app 
that Sarah mentioned?

TIA and best regards.
Geoff
