While basically functional, Lion DiskMaker for Mac lacks many features that would make it useful to anyone other than those users who need a bootable USB or new CD of their Mac OS. The program also offers the option of creating a bootable DVD of the OS, which would be a welcome option for users who buy secondhand Macs or do not have their original recovery CD. The program did install the OS image on the test USB, but booting from this device was not tested separately. It will also detect any USB drives plugged into your Mac and automatically flash the system image. Simply launch DiskMaker X and it will automatically find the installation file using Spotlight. After this was fixed, the program worked quickly, walking the user through the setup process. DiskMaker X (formerly Lion DiskMaker) is designed specifically for macOS and is one of the most popular USB boot tools on Mac. At first, the program stated during testing that no Mac installation file had been found, but after consulting the FAQ section, this was solved. The menu is small, but uncomplicated and walks the user through the process. At startup, Lion DiskMaker for Mac immediately asks which operating system the user would like to use, whether OS X 10.7 or 10.8. Minimal instructions were included beyond a frequently asked questions section and it was not clear if technical support was available. The free program downloaded and installed easily. Lion DiskMaker for Mac lacks any other features, but completes this function well. While not easily completed with native programs, users may still want the ability to create a bootable USB of their Mac OS.
