The application will only take a second or two to be copied into the folder (it’s a small file). When finished, right-click in the disk image window and choose Eject Disk.Ģ.) Connect your USB thumb drive to your Mac, then launch the DiskMaker X application from your Applications folder.ģ.) A small window will appear asking you to choose from three versions of OS X, in order to create the boot disk. Click the button that says “El Capitan (10.11)”.Ĥ.) By default, DiskMaker X should find the OS X installer file you downloaded earlier. Click “Use this copy”.ĥ.) Next you will be asked which kind of disk you want to use for your bootable installer. For this example, click the button that says “An 8 GB USB thumb drive”.Ħ.) DiskMaker X will find the available thumb drives connected to your Mac. Select the disk you want to use and click “Choose this disk”.ħ.) DiskMaker X will warn you that you are about to erase the disk. If you are OK with this click “Erase then create the disk”. DiskMaker X will remind you that administrator privileges are required. Type in your administrator password and click OK.Ĭlick Continue.Ĩ.) Initially you will not see any windows for several seconds, then the administrator password dialog will appear. Next you will see a small window with progress information on it as the installer disk is created the information will change as the process nears its end. Because the application sets up more than 6GB of installer data via a USB connection (most thumb drives use USB 2 which has a maximum data rate of ~ 50MB/s), this process will take a while. In our test, Step 8 took ~ 32 minutes.ĩ.) When the process is finished, a window should open displaying the contents of the new bootable drive. You can close this if you do not wish to begin the install process right away.ġ0.) Finally a dialog will pop up telling you that your boot disk is ready, giving you further options to quit, open the startup disk preferences so you can begin the OS X install process, and an option to make a donation. From that point you can follow the standard OS X prompts as they appear.) (Within the Startup Disk preferences, once you set the new bootable installer disk to be the active boot drive, you can click the Restart… button and the OS X installation process will begin.

If you appreciate the function or functionality this software offers, we encourage you to support the authors. All products that are validated under this standard have undergone rigorous testing and development.īecause of their highly assured level of security and because they meet such a broad spectrum of security requirements, FIPS 140-2 validated security products are widely accepted by government agencies, banks, enterprises worldwide.I’m here to share a tip for those who create a OS X installer on a USB stick but can’t get it to boot: Most guides mention the Terminal Window method of creating a bootable copy of the Mac OS installer, and the older OS guides mention using Disk Utility to do the same task. The areas covered, related to the secure design and implementation of a cryptographic module include a number of important specifications such as ports, interfaces, authentication, physical security, cryptographic key management, design assurance, attack mitigation, and more.įIPS creates a uniform level of security for all federal agencies in order to protect what's categorized as sensitive but unclassified information: electronic data not classified as secret or higher, which makes up a large portion of the data around. It provides four increasing, qualitative levels intended to cover a wide range of potential applications and environments. The Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS 140-2) specifies the security requirements that will be satisfied by a cryptographic module.
