I don't have a USB drive to make a bootable version of Lion so I was wondering if I can just use Disk Utility to verify the disk in Safe Mode. Thank you.
How can it do more? I never noticed a difference when I used my Snow Leopard disk.
Yes, you should be. You would be repairing your boot partition from a different and independent partition.But If I boot from that will I be able to use verify disk in the same way as if I was booting from a USB?
Actually, you don't have to make a USB. It may come in handy if your disk fails (as in physical failure) and you need to install Lion on a new drive. Or if you accidentally wipe your disk and your recovery partition. It has happened to some people trying to use Boot Camp.If so, why bother making a USB to boot from?
You can make a DVD copy of Lion using this utlity:Yes, you should be. You would be repairing your boot partition from a different and independent partition.
