We'll see if the developer is up to the challenge or if the negative feedback cools his enthusiasm for the project. So three stars is all I can give it, do to the inadequate user interface.

The best that can be said is that Install Disk Creator is a work in progress and has little or nothing to recommend it over DiskMaker X. It also does a lot better job explaining what's going on, which helps prevent mistakes.

It sniffs out all and any installers on media in or connected to your computer, including external drives, which is where I happen to keep my installers. And it is functionally more complete as well. Select your main system disk and click the Create backup button. You’ll now be shown a list of available disks that can be backed up into a. Click Byte-to-byte Backup from the Extra Tools menu in the left column. In the meantime, DiskMaker X has plenty of cues and prompts. Download, install and open the Disk Drill app. We can hope the developer takes the time to finish the app. In other words, this app is incomplete as far as user feedback is concerned. Which is a problem: function aside, there are not enough indicators showing what's going on, not even a "finished" or "done" button. In fact, it was so fast that I didn't know it was done.

All I see if I hold down C is a blue screen with a little folder with the MAC picture and then a question mark flashing back and forth.I am using Roxio Toast Titanium 6.0.OK, I downloaded Install Disk Creator and it works just fine. Also tried to option key to see what bootable device is there and with the 2 new blank HD there is nothing. Yes I have made sure to hold down the C key after rebooting and putting in the new blank HD's. I have made sure to mount the dmg file for each of the 4 disks, tried just burning a data cd, then burned to an image and burned the image to cd, tried a mac volume, nothing seems to work. I am a Linux user and can burn bootable CD's from image files all day long, but this is just killing me and getting rather expensive. I also have a 160G external Firewire disk and a Plextor PX-716 DVD/CDR burner. I have now coastered about 10 disks trying to figure out how to burn a bootable CD so I can reinstall Panther to 2 40G disks (internal) instead of the 1 20G disk I got with the machine. dmg files of the panther disks 1-3 and the X code as well. I just bought my first MAC G4 Dual 450 from a friend (who bought a new G5).
