My wife's iMac is running 10.6.8. I would like to upgrade her to Mavericks and have already prepared a thumb drive with DiskMaker X. As part of the process, I would like to create a recovery partition to use in emergencies going forward. My tentative process is- Back up!
- Boot from an external disk. Part of previous step is a SuperDuper! (SD) update.
- Erase the internal disk.
- Run Mavericks installer from thumb drive. This is a 'clean' install due to the previous step, so it's supposed to offer to create a recovery partition.
- Boot again from the SD external and use SD to clone it back to the internal disk's main partition after erasing it.
- Boot from internal disk.
- Back at the original system, run the Mavericks installer again to install over 10.6.8, leaving all my files in place.
