Our Freeware of the Moment is a free utility for the Mac that lets you make a repair disk on an external hard drive, even an iPod. DasBoot becomes the shell for your emergency disk so it requires you to use and install your own utilities onto the iPod or other disk. From the DasBoot web site:
You can use your device to boot and repair Mac OS X computers asneeded without erasing it and taking away your ability to use it forother purposes such as playing music, or watching videos. With the helpof DasBootâ„¢ you get to carry all the tools you’ll need with you. Butunlike expensive third party alternatives, you’ll have plenty of spaceleft over in case you need to recover data.
