The requirement of creating an OSx recovery disk on a device being compatible with that OSx, can be overcome by using the method described here.
Please note a temporary image will be created on the desktop. Make sure you have sufficient disk space. In the end of the tutorial, this temporary directory will be deleted and a MacOSx rescue USB will have been created.
And please always double check any command coming from the internet before u execute them in your terminal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
