#OS X MAVERICKS CLEAN INSTALL INSTALL#

I am going to stick with Snow Leopard until I can make the purchase and install the ssd. After I get the ssd installed, I was going to make a clean install of Mavericks as well as a clean install of all my apps.a completely fresh start. Nick.My intentions were to make a bootable USB flash drive so I could boot into Mavericks and play around with it and learn about it thoroughly and see how I was going to configure my preferences before I 'permanently' switched over to Mavericks. The link you posted (thanks for that) stated to use the latest version for obvious reasons. Since 10.9.2 has been released, I figured I would just go with the latest release instead of installing/making bootable USB and then having to immediately update. What has happened with the 2 new USB flash drives that will not let me create bootable drives?Д¬raig.the Mavericks installer I have is OS 10.9.1. I am going to delete the 10.9.1 installer based on Nick's reply saying that it will not create a mess.

Once I purchase and install the new Mercury ssd, is there any formatting required? My Mini told me there was enough space on the drive to do the job. I attempted to do this with 2 brand new 8GB flash drives. I do not have a bootable 10.9.1 USB installer drive. I did not successfully get this done although I followed the instructions. I recently did exactly what I described above to do a clean install of Mavericks on to my 21.5' iMac.

Now when you're ready to install Mavericks to your Mac Mini, boot with the external hard drive, start the Mavericks installer and direct it to install to your Mac Mini.

That will make your spare external hard drive bootable. Now double click the installer which is in your applications folder and direct it to install Mavericks on your spare external hard drive.

Format the external hard drive to Mac OS Extended Journaled (guid scheme).Дў. Per cschag's instructions, I did exactly this:Дo you have a spare external hard drive? If so, you can do the following:ДЎ. I realize this a couple of different issues in one thread, but I feel someone here can handle it all.

Can anybody help me with what has happened and why the drive isn't big enough? The format created a partition and Get Info shows there are 7.63 GB available and 30MB of 'something' on the drive. When I went to install OS 10.9.1, my computer said there was not enough room. I formatted (GUID) a new 8GB USB flash drive so I could create a bootable drive. Will deleting this installer cause problems? I am running 10.6.8 on my mini and I want to do clean OS install after I get the ssd and I want the latest OS version.ДЄfter I install the ssd, will it be ready for the Mavericks installation.or do it have to be formatted first? If so, how would I do that? Would that be part of the installer package (Disk Utility)?ДЄlso, per instructions given me in an earlier thread to create a bootable USB drive I followed the instructions exactly. My computer prompted me for my admin password. I right clicked the installer app and chose to Move to Trash. Now that OS 10.9.2 is out, I wish to delete 10.9.1 from my Applications folder. I have not installed the package because I am saving up for a ssd and was going to do a clean install of Mavericks and other apps. I downloaded the Mavericks 10.9.1 installer package a couple of weeks ago.
