Basic Operation

MacBoot is a potentially dangerous program. It modifies a file called BootX, which plays a crucial role in the boot process of your computer. While MacBoot takes every precaution to make sure that the file is not damaged, the risk does exist that your computer could become unbootable.

As a precaution, MacBoot saves a backup of the BootX file on its first run. That file is stored in MacBoot's Application Support folder. To view the file, select the Reveal BootX Backup from the application menu. For detailed info on how to restore your BootX image, see First Aid.
