I used the Lion Disk Maker to create a bootable SD card to do a clean install of ML on my MBP with. It was transferring for about 2 hours unattended (with regular checking).

At the end of it, there was an error shown and foolishly I didn't write it down. From memory, it was something regarding a disk not being found, which I think may have been because when it was creating the drive, it was named a bunch of random letters and numbers, and the program may have unmounted it and renamed the drive to what it is now called (OS X Mountain Lion Install Disk - 10.8).

All the files seem to be there though, and it booted fine. Also, the utilities seem to work fine from what I can tell (terminal, firmware password thing, etc). Is there anyway to validate that I have all the files? I don't want to format my only mac only to have the installation drive fail (and I don't want to have to wait 2 hours again if I don't have to).
