Hi daniel. first off, ensure you’ve backed up everything. glad that SuperDuper works for you. it’s a useful product and part of my toolbox. open up system preferences and go to Startup Disk. you should see your new bootable volume listed. if so, select it and tab to restart. now you can continue reformatting your HDD using disk utility within the installer then installing your OS. it is important to format the HDD because otherwise you will end up with corrupt data. lew On 1 Nov 2013, at 04:50 pm, Daniel McGee <venables134@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi all, I am please to report that I think I've managed to create a bootable > Mountain Lion with the release I purchased last year with my Apple ID that I > made a backup to my external hard drive with. > I did this with SuperDuper and WOW!!!
