This live USB device can be used for diagnostic, repair, and recovery of Mac OS X systems.

[3] In addition to the DasBoot application, the user needs a bootable CD or DVD and a FireWire or USB flash drive.

[4] Bootable Mac OS X CD/DVDs are included with programs such as Drive Genius, DiskWarrior, FileSalvage, CopyCatX, and other software utilities.

To boot the system from the DasBoot device, the user starts their Mac with the 'Option' (sometimes called 'Alt') key held down.

A DasBoot interface will appear once the system boots and allow the user to select the installed application(s) they would like to run.
