Re: Burning ML to SD card.
Hi Sarah, In the version of CCC dated about a week ago, the source pop-up button includes an option to create a Mountain Lion disk. BTW, I used the Partition tab (which was available for the drive volume) to make an empty Guide partition but was still unable to create the installation disk for my SD card via Disk Utility. It was very easy and straight forward using Carbon Copy Cloner. Thanks again to all who responded, and best regards.

The distinction is that when you make a bootable drive for current Macs, you not only need to specify the format for files (e.g., Mac OS Extended, Journaled), but that you're using a GUID Partition table (for an Intel Mac) vs. an Apple Partition map (for an older PowerPC Mac, or for a device that is not being used as a startup device) vs. a Master Boot Record for devices used to start up DOS or Windows devices, or devices that require DOS- or Windows-compatible partitions. In order to get access to those options, you have to create a new partition by changing the popup button for the partition layout of your device from Current to 1 partition (or however many you want).

But it is possible to prep the drive manually as I described by using the Partition tab of Disk Utility instead of the Erase tab. HTH.

Re: Burning ML to SD card.
Hi Geoff If you look around the dick utility tabs, you'll see a Partition tab. There is an Options button just before the two cancel and OK buttons. Pressing that will bring up a table of different partition types. In that table just select the Guide partition type radio button and click OK. Then, click Apply and then click Partition. Your partition will then be created.

Re: Burning ML to SD card.
Hi Geoff, Just to further comment on Gordon's points about the Partition tab in Disk Utility. I think that to prepare your SD card (or a USB memory stick) for being a bootable volume, the preferred method is to use the Partition tab and create a new partition, which also deletes existing content in the process, rather than to use the Erase tab. Most USB thumb drives and SD media card come formatted for use with FAT32 files for Windows, since Macs can read these formats.

Re: Burning ML to SD card.
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.
