There's supposed to be a Subrosasoft launcher that comes up first if this concept worked but it never does. When I click to select the device the mouse locks up and the Mac restarts. Holding the Option key to restart, the USB drive shows up only as a storage device. When I looked at the USB drive contents everything appeared to me as a bootable drive would but it just did not show up as a bootable drive when holding the Option key on my iMac running 10.0.6. I could not - after more than 12 attempts - get this software to create a bootable DiskWarrior or TechTool Pro USB drive.
