If you purchased Prosoft's Drive Genius 3 from OWC, and would like to create a bootable DVD** of the software, please contact us at 800-275-4576 or eshop.macsales.com/Service/cs_email.cfm, and you will be provided a download link. Due to the size of the file required to create the boot DVD, it is only available upon request.
If you would like to create a Drive Genius 3 startup disk that is bootable via USB or FireWire, please follow the directions provided at: prosofteng.com/support/drivegenius3-bootable-dvd.php.
* LiveDefrag is not available if you are running File Vault 2 full disk encryption. In that set up, you must startup from a secondary startup disk.
** The boot OS on this DVD only supports Intel Macs introduced prior to 2012. The boot OS image provided on this DVD will not boot 2012 Intel based Macs.
(i.e. booting up from a CD is a nonstarter literally especially since most Macs don't ship with CD drives anymore.)
Also the help could explain how to make a bootable flash drive that mere mortals like me could understand.
I gave up and went to the Apple support site to figure out how to do it.
Other than that the software itself works well and does what its supposed to.
I'm currently running the pulse drive on 10.10 and its running fine.
Also the price was right.
I would recommend this item to a friend!I have used OWC since the company was started and had just a few employees. I lived on Dean Street in Woodstock, IL on the other side of the "Square" where the company was started. Larry O'connor is a genius entrepreneur and one of the most responsive, generous CEO's of any company I have ever dealt with.
The company itself is very "GREEN" with all of their power to run the warehouse provided by a wind turbine. I have made 100's of purchases for myself and clients, and directed Mac users to this website without hesitation. IT IS THE NUMBER ONE MACINTOSH support site for upgrades and storage. Their original products are superior and have better pre/post-sales than ANY OTHER COMPANY.
I would recommend this item to a friend! This review is from SPECIAL OFFER - Prosoft Drive Genius 3 for $29.00!.
