Is a 32 gig USB 2.0 Flash drive spacious enough to use as an emergency boot drive?
#18
I don’t know what you guys are doing that you can’t get it onto an 8GB — don’t install Safari and Mail and language/localizations, iTunes, Quicktime, etc., etc.

It’s a repair boot disk. My USB stick gets 14MB/sec on the read. Better than average, but it was still a $12.99
stick from WalMart from back before December.

It boots just about 90 seconds slower than the standard Apple DVD, and WAY faster than if you make the
standard DiskWarrior DVD - which can take as long as 15 minutes to boot up your computer.

I have no idea what it is doing… but I don’t care either. Not when it has 6GB of RAM to play with, and takes
that long.

If I knew where it was, I’d post the screenshot of it. That’s the only bad thing about thumb drives. They
disappear a lot.
