Since replacing the Macbook recently with the 11.6 Air, I had noticed that beyond the clone backups and the cloud syncing, if the worst should happen with the on board SSD, I'd have no DiskWarrior get out clause.
A quick surf around what Mac users with the no optical drive on the Macs do in this scenario, revealed a relatively straightforward answer which I thought I would share:
That's it. Store the USB key somewhere you can remember. If the worst should happen and the MacBook does not fire up. Insert the USB key and press and hold Cmd + O until DiskWarrior has fired up.
Toolkit updated :)
A quick surf around what Mac users with the no optical drive on the Macs do in this scenario, revealed a relatively straightforward answer which I thought I would share:
- In this case, use a Mac which does have a SuperDrive on board
- Insert the DiskWarrior DVD into the SuperDrive
- Insert a good quality USB key (probably 2-4Gb storage) into the Mac
- Fire up Disk Utility
- Format the USB key as 'DiskWarriorDVD' to get it ready
- Move to the Restore tab
- Drag the DVD of DiskWarrior to the source field
- Drag the USB drive of the DiskWarriorDVD to the destination field
- Click Restore

| Simply use DiskWarrior to create a bootable USB key for DiskWarrior — perfect in the toolkit for the new MacBooks |
