JBraddock Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Mount you installation DVD and then open Disk Utility. Select the DVD and then click Convert. Screenshot is below. Pay attention to read/write thing. Restore this image to your USB. By the way, when you format your usb drive, before restoring the dmg file, don't forget to uncheck "ignore ownership on this volume" (Right click > Get Info. See the bottom) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/226076-change-files-in-the-installation-dvd/#findComment-1516602 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBraddock Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 By the way, you also need to use Show All Files app to show hidden files inside the USB. http://www.kexts.com/view/412-show_all_files.html Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/226076-change-files-in-the-installation-dvd/#findComment-1516640 Share on other sites More sharing options...
