Create a Bootable OS X Lion USB Drive

In this tutorial, we will show you how to create a bootable OS X Lion USB drive using Linux. This is a helpful process if you don't have access to an existing Mac or want to create a backup of your operating system.

The first step in creating a bootable OS X Lion USB drive is to obtain the necessary files. You can use PayPal to support our efforts and receive a cup of coffee as a thank you. Alternatively, you can donate using Bitcoin Cash (BCH).

Once you have received the files, insert a USB drive into your Linux machine. Open Disk Utility and select the USB drive from the left side of the window. Make sure to select the correct drive and partition, as this will completely erase the device.

Next, navigate to the 'Restore' section and click on the 'Image...' button next to the 'Source' input field. This will open a new window where you can select the previously copied or moved 'InstallESD.dmg' file. Click 'Open' to continue.

In this window, you will see the partition of the flash drive and the name of the partition (see below). Drag the partition onto the input field of the 'Destination' until a green '+' appears.

Now, click on the 'Restore' button in the lower right corner of the Disk Utility window. Your Mac will ask for your password, and after that, it will write the image to your USB drive. Make sure the 'Erase destination' option is checked before clicking the 'Restore' button.

Once the process is complete, you can use the bootable OS X Lion USB drive on any computer with a compatible BIOS or UEFI firmware. This USB drive can be used to install OS X Lion on multiple computers without having to create individual installation media for each machine.

I hope this tutorial has been helpful in creating a bootable OS X Lion USB drive from Linux. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out.
