Isn't there a way of holding down the U key to boot to USB?

Subject: Making an Install Flash Drive for Lion: Tutorial Link


Chris,
After turning on your mac and before hearing the little jingle, press and hold your option key. This will stop the mac from booting off of your hard drive, and instead present you with a little menu. It's horizontal, but we have no speech feedback. Left is macintosh hd and the cursor is on it. On my machine, and it just takes a little experimenting, is the recovery lion partition, if you use lion at all. Next to the recovery partition is a third choice. This could be your flash drive. So after having held option right after turning on your mac, hold it some 5 seconds after you heard the jingle. Then release. The menu is now there. Now, arrow right once and hit enter to boot off of the second menu choice and see where that gets you. If it was the recovery partition, you know that from now on, so next time, choose the next option and see if that is your flash drive.

Hth,
Paul.

And how do you tell the computer to boot from the flash drive? I know the CD is the c key, but I can't remember how to start on the flash drive.

Hi:

Both CCC (Carbon Copy Cloner) and Super Duper (from Shirt Pocket
Software) will handle this for you.  I successfully created a bootable
flash drive with both my original OS X Snow Leopard disc and the Lion
install image.

Super Duper worked like a champ.

I simply accomplished this task by using CCC instead of disk utility,
that is much easier and it yielded same result in the end, a bootable
flash drive.

Here's how to get around the issue, click the restore tab, then in the
list of disks, control click the flash drive and choose set as
destination. You need to move the mouse to the item, and control click
it, doing VO shift m won't work, which is probably a bug in disk
utility. Once that's done, select the disk image for the source in the
usual way

Hello everybody.
Did we ever end up solving the VO dragging and dropping of the flash
drive on the the destination field in disc utility? I'm trying to make
a Lion drive right now and am having this issue.
Thanks all.

Hello,
I followed the instructions in Disc utility and as far as the drag and
drop, I got as far as setting the drive to be drug, but it never
completed the drag. Then once I got it to complete, but then it became
the source destination.
This whole drag and drop thing is really iffy at best.
I have Lion on a DVD, but for what ever reason, I am totally unable to get the dmg file to properly be placed on the flash drive. I have never had any problem with dealing with image files and using disk utility.
Does any one have any suggestions for doing the whole process of
putting the install dmg file on the flash drive as a bootable drive, I don't mean the part about creating the partition and stuff, I mean the restore part, it just isn't working at all. So again, instructions for
VO only would be appreciated.
Thanks,



Dan

Hi,
I partitioned a 32 gb flash drive, then I went to the restore tab in disc utility. I chose the .dmg file as my source, but how can I choose
my destination as the flash drive?
Thanks,
Courtney

Hi Teresa and list,

I saw a few questions on this list about this, so I looked it up.
Here's a link. Note that it's geared more toward sighted users, but
basically it involves taking the .dmg file and working with it in
Disc Utility.

Quite interesting. The only issue: There is no Lion file in my
application folder. Do you have an idea what to do then?

Thanks and
all the best
Jürgen
