There are a couple of ways to do this, the easiest of which is to use Apple's Disk Utility (found in your Utilities folder). Once open, click on the partition that you want to use in the column on the left.
Drag the partition (from the left) onto the Destination field, and then drag (or use the Image button) your newly made disk image file onto the Source field. Check the Erase Destination checkbox, and, if you're in a hurry, check the Skip Checksum checkbox, and then hit the Restore button. Test it out by plugging your drive into a machine and booting into the Startup Manager (hold down the Option key after you hear the startup chime).
You should see (eventually some machines seem to take forever to poll for valid boot disks) a button with your volume (which should be named MacOS Install DVD or the like) appear. Resist the urge to rename the volume from MacOS Install.I suggest using a small partition on your drive - I use 4GB - for each installer disc you decide to image.Select it, and the machine should boot right into the installer. to something more useful (like Tiger Install) - I've never done it, and haven't had a single problem. Ideally, you'd want the volume you're using for this to be read-only I've tried using the 'Locked for Editing' feature in Disk Utilities' partitioning section, but it doesn't seem to do anything.I've got a feeling that changing the name would break something. If anyone out there knows of a way to lock a volume down permanently, please let me know. Remaining space - storage partition, with application installers, updaters, etc.Īnd there you have it.10GB partition - bootable diagnostics volume (10.4.3, with all of my diagnostics and utilities installed and ready to go).I know what you're thinking - "Hey, there was never a Panther install DVD! What are you talking about?" Well, if you dig into this hint, you can make one.) 4GB partition - Panther DVD image/install (10.3.5.4GB partition - Tiger Server image/install (10.4.3).4GB partition - Tiger DVD image/install (10.4.3).Here's how I've got my 100GB drive Toolbox drive set up ("Serving Suggestion"): Hope it saves you as much time as it does me.

I've been working this most of the day and found a working solution for some of the software updates that follow an installation. #CREATE MAC OS X MOUNTAIN LION INSTALL DISK SOFTWARE# #CREATE MAC OS X MOUNTAIN LION INSTALL DISK SOFTWARE#.
