Existing users, 
rtpete: This is how you make the bootable 4.0.2 CD:
1. Download the 4.0.2 updater and expand it.
2. Insert your original CD
3. Open Disk Utility and highlight the original TechTool Pro 4.x CD select "New Image" (in the menu). When the menu drops down (Save as ...) then move the Image format to "DVD/CD master", then name the file so you remember, and create an image.
4. Run the 4.0.2 installer. After you update your hard drive copy, at the end of the install program it will ask if you want to update another, click YES, then update the disk image.
5. The installer will finish then restart your machine. Then restart.
6. After restart run Disk Utility again. In Disk Utility highlight the your named Disk Image from the cloned TechTool CD image(you made). Then insert a blank CD the in Disk Utility, click burn. You now have a bootable 4.0.2 CD.

Ditto ... the 4.0.2 updater will not select contents of a .dmg file for updating.Also ... Apple's Disk Utility has no capability to create a .dmg file ... where is the "New Image ..." menu ???

1. The CD you obtain DOES NOT WORK. It is there, you see it on your desktop, it has TT 4.0.2 on it, but you can't use this TT: it says "not properly installed".2. In any case you will never be able to boot from said CD (at least I could not), not selecting it in the "Startup Disk", not pressing the C key at startup, not pressing the "alt" key and then selecting the system on the CD (which appears among the other systems you have on your disks).
3. To obtain this not-working disk, anyway, you can not update directly the image, but you have to expand it and update the TT on the expanded image. It seems updated also on the image, but as I said, the CD you obtain does not work. Too bad.
Different, lucky experiences? Please, contribute. Thanks

I finally figured out that the original author of this comment series really meant use "Disk Copy" which I did and it worked just as advertised.I also got the "not properly installed" error message, but the fault was mine because initially I simply dragged the hard drive updated TTP to the disk image from Disk Copy.
What did work are the exact instructions ... let the 4.0.2 updater do the updating for you.
After burning within "Disk Copy" and after reboot ... waiting for the 10 minutes while it does go thru the booting process ... wallah ... the startup app = version 4.0.2 appears.

Am I doing something wrong? There doesn't seem to be a way for the TechTool Installer to select the disk image for updating after updating the installed program in the Applications folder.Reply to This
