On Mac OS, many operations such as: Fixing, Optimizing, Defragmenting, Partitioning, Cloning, Data Recovery require you to "unmount" your hard drive or partition in order to run.
There are many great tools to do these functions, but to use them you either need a second operating system installed or several bootable discs.
To make your life easier some clever guys have compiled a single bootable image which contains as many of these tools as possible. This image can be burnt to a DVD or cloned to an iPod/flash USB stick/hard drive/partition; the resulting product will then be bootable.
Bootable Utilities Image(BUI) is entirely universal - meaning it will work with Intel and PPC Macintosh computers - it is also Leopard OS compatible.
