I've broken my Mac installation, which has all my stuff on. It is backed up with time machine, and I now have Lion on a USB drive to restore from, but I can't do this until I can use another (working) Mac for 10 minutes or so to run a little program which modifies the USB slightly so I can boot from it.

The program is called Unibeast, it's tiny and I'll uninstall it afterwards.

I think this should work on any fairly recent Mac OS, it doesn't need to be Lion.

I'd be super grateful, and you'll get a thank you present :)

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
