Here's an Apple article:

But it seems a lot of effort to get it done.

worker201:
So if you have to have OSX installed on the USB device, then the only point of booting from it would be to repair an OSX installation on the main hard drive.  This solution doesn't expand the diagnostic capacities of OSX in any way.

Well, I downloaded a copy of that CD you mentioned, maybe I can get it to boot.  Fingers crossed.

Lead Head:
I believe the idea was to install Hirens Boot CD to the USB drive, to perform diagnostics - not OSX itself.

worker201:
According to that article, though, a USB stick has to have OSX installed on it to be bootable.

It's worth a try?

Can't Macs run Windows now anyway?
