What do you do if your recovery partition has become corrupted, or you have replaced your existing hard drive with a new hard drive?&nbsp; Such would be the case if your hard drive failed, or you found it necessary to upgrade your existing drive.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; Today I am going to show you how to create a bootable USB installer for OS X 10.13 (High Sierra), as well as \u201cuseful utility\u201d partition.&nbsp; The only thing you will need is a USB thumb drive with a capacity of at least 8 GB of storage, however I would recommend getting one with 32 or even 64 GB, so you can have a bootable partition with your favorite utilities for emergencies.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp;So, let\u2019s get crackin!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; The first thing we want to do, Erase the USB thumb drive, and reformat it with the \u201cGUID\u201d partition scheme, 9 times out of 10 your thumb drive will come either formatted with the \u201cMaster Boot Record\u201d scheme with a single \u201cExFAT or \u201cNTFS\u201d to work on Windows computers.&nbsp; We will want to reformat the device to be used and bootable from your macOS computer.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.catracing.org\/hendrb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Select-Utilities.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-3730\" src=\"http:\/\/www.catracing.org\/hendrb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Select-Utilities-157x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"157\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.catracing.org\/hendrb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Select-Utilities-157x300.png 157w, https:\/\/www.catracing.org\/hendrb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Select-Utilities.png 204w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 157px) 100vw, 157px\" \/><\/a>Open your utilities folder by selecting Go &gt;
