You missunderstand me I think. This has nothing to do with Disk Usility at all. It simply creates a bootable disk with the currently installed operating system as its base. As for erasing your hard drive, that is not possible. OS X will not permit you to erase the current boot device.

You could, but the only way that I know of using that method is disk utility, if you do it before you do disk utility, you will erase the hard drive and not be able to get back into it. I've done that. Not good.

Forgive my late entrance conffth thread. But can you not just use the Apple Recovery Assistant? That works well and is totally accessible. I have Mavericks, Mkain Lion and Lion bootable USB keys here which were created used Recovery Assistant. I guess it's just a case for horses for courses.
