[prMac.com] Auckland, New Zealand - MacDaddy today is proud to announce the release and immediate availability of Install Disk Creator 1.0, their Mac OS X utility application that simplifies the creation of a bootable OS X installation disk, which can then be used to install Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan on any compatible Mac computer. The application makes creating an OS X install disk a simple process for OS X users of any experience level.

Disc Creator El Capitan

'sudo /Applications/Install OS X El Capitan.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install OS X El Capitan.app --nointeraction,' That's the command that was required to create an OS X install disk up until the debut of Install Disk Creator. Creating an OS X El Capitan installation disk was formerly a complicated, arcane process. MacDaddy's Install Disk Creator simplifies the process, reducing the process to simply downloading the OS X installer from the Mac App Store, running the Install Disk Creator app, and selecting the drive to create the installation disk on.
'Creating an OS X Installation disk on a portable drive, such as a USB stick, has always required jumping through hoops,' shared MacDaddy CEO Ben Slaney. 'Most Mac users don't have the knowledge or patience to enter the complicated commands that are required to create an OS X installation disk. That's where Install Disk Creator 1.0 comes in. It reduces the process to simply downloading our app from the MacDaddy website, and the OS X installation files from the Mac App Store. plugging-in an 8GB or larger USB Stick, and running our app. In a short time, they'll have an installation disk they can use to install OS X 10.11 El Capitan on any compatible Mac.'
Install Disk Creator is an easy to use application, that presents a clean and simply designed interface that can guide any user through the process of creating a Mac OS X installation disk. Novice users will appreciate the application's ease of use, while power users will appreciate the ability to create installation disks without the need to remember the entire series of commands that were once required to create an installation disk. All users will appreciate the convenience of having created a USB installation disk that they can use any time to install OS X on any compatible Mac.
Using Install Disk Creator to create an OS X installation disk is the only way to do a truly clean installation of OS X. While users can boot from the recovery partition to erase the main partition, it isn't a truly clean erase and install. And, in some cases the recovery partition may be damaged or missing. Install Disk Creator helps users avoid those issues.
'Many users like to install the new version of OS X as a fresh install,' continues Slaney. 'However, the way Apple now distributes new versions of OS X via the Mac App Store makes it difficult to do a fresh install without requiring the user to jump through a number of hoops. Install Disk Creator simplifies the process, making it easy for any user to create an installation USB stick, and use it to install OS X El Capitan on their Mac.'
System Requirements:
* OS X 10.7 or Higher
* 64-bit Processor
* 1.4 MB
Pricing and Availability:
Install Disk Creator 1.0 is free, and is available worldwide exclusively through the MacDaddy website. Review copies are available upon request. Complete information about the application can be found on the MacDaddy website.

It was 2009 when Apple last released a new operating system on physical media. Things have proceeded remarkably smoothly since version 10.7 switched to download-only installers, but there are still good reasons to want an old, reliable USB stick. For instance, if you find yourself doing multiple installs, a USB drive may be faster than multiple downloads (especially if you use a USB 3.0 drive). Or maybe you need a recovery disk for older Macs that don't support the Internet Recovery feature. Whatever the reason, you're in luck, because it's not hard to make one.

As with last year, there are two ways to get it done. There's the super easy way with the graphical user interface and the only slightly less easy way that requires some light Terminal use. Here's what you need to get started.

Disk Creator Mac Os El Capitan

  • A Mac that you have administrator access to, duh. We've created El Capitan USB stick from both Yosemite and El Capitan, but your experience with other versions may vary.
  • An 8GB or larger USB flash drive or an 8GB or larger partition on some other kind of external drive. For newer Macs, use a USB 3.0 drive—it makes things significantly faster.
  • The OS X 10.11 El Capitan installer from the Mac App Store in your Applications folder. The installer will delete itself when you install the operating system, but it can be re-downloaded if necessary.
  • If you want a GUI, you need the latest version of Diskmaker X app. Version 5 is the one with official El Capitan support.
  • Diskmaker X is free to download, but the creator accepts donations if you want to support his efforts.

The easy way

Disk Maker Osx El Capitan

Once you've obtained all of the necessary materials, connect the USB drive to your Mac and run the Diskmaker X app. The app will offer to make installers for OS X 10.9, 10.10, and 10.11, and it should run on OS X versions all the way back to 10.7—support for 10.6 was dropped in the most recent release.

Diskmaker X has actually been around since the days of OS X 10.7 (it was previously known as Lion Diskmaker), and it's still the easiest GUI-based way to go without intimidating newbies. If you're comfortable with the command line, it's still possible to create a disk manually using a Terminal command, which we'll cover momentarily.

Download

Select OS X 10.11 in Diskmaker X, and the app should automatically find the copy you've downloaded to your Applications folder. It will then ask you where you want to copy the files—click 'An 8GB USB thumb drive' if you have a single drive to use or 'Another kind of disk' to use a partition on a larger drive or some other kind of external drive. Choose your disk (or partition) from the list that appears, verify that you'd like to have the disk (or partition) erased, and then wait for the files to copy over. The process is outlined in screenshots above.

The only slightly less-easy way

If you don't want to use Diskmaker X, Apple has actually included a terminal command that can create an install disk for you. Assuming that you have the OS X El Capitan installer in your Applications folder and you have a Mac OS X Extended (Journaled)-formatted USB drive named 'Untitled' mounted on the system, you can create an El Capitan install drive by typing the following command into the Terminal.

sudo /Applications/Install OS X El Capitan.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install OS X El Capitan.app --nointeraction

The command will erase the disk and copy the install files over. Give it some time, and your volume will soon be loaded up with not just the OS X installer but also an external recovery partition that may come in handy if your hard drive dies and you're away from an Internet connection.

Disk Maker Para El Capitan

Whichever method you use, you should be able to boot from your new USB drive either by changing the default Startup Disk in System Preferences or by holding down the Option key at boot and selecting the drive. Once booted, you'll be able to install or upgrade El Capitan as you normally would.
