Luckily,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/diskmakerx.com\">DiskMaker X<\/a> helps fill the void by allowing you to make a bootable OS X 10.9 Mavericks USB install drive.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s really great about this software is like OS X Mavericks, the DiskMaker X software won\u2019t cost you a thing (however, donations are accepted). All you need is an 8 GB (minimum) <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/item\/OWC\/USBTDA008\/\">USB thumb drive<\/a>, a <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/shop\/firewire\/\">USB<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/shop\/firewire\/\">FireWire<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/shop\/Thunderbolt\/\">Thunderbolt drive<\/a> or an SD-Card, the OS X 10.9 Mavericks Installer from the App Store, and the DiskMaker X application.<\/p>\n<p>DiskMaker X is fairly straightforward and will guide you through the process of making your install drive. It should be noted that <strong>DiskMaker X erases the volume or the drive you chose, according to the options you chose.<\/strong> So don\u2019t forget to <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/15145-have-multiple-backups-for-extra-protection\">backup your data first<\/a>!<\/p>\n<h3>A Brief Walkthrough:<\/h3>\n<p><strong>1.)&nbsp;<\/strong>Open the DiskMaker X &nbsp;disk image (.dmg) file and you will get a window with the application and a shortcut to the Applications folder.
